Doesn't need to be limited to String-like things either. I use something 
similar such that:

Smalltalk keys sorted bobEdit

opens a workspace with:

1 - ADPCMCodec
2 - ADPCMCodecPlugin
3 - AEDesc
4 - AGenieIntroduction
5 - AIFFFileReader
6 - AMPCommunicator
...and so on...

Handy if you need to email the contents of some collection.
