--- SUMMARY --
-
-"Multi-path autocomplete" helps anyone who creates menu items on
-admin/structure/menu/manage/*/add to enter the path to nodes.
-It changes the input field for the menu path to an autocomplete text field so
-you can simply enter the title of the node and will get a list with all
-matching values. If you select one of them its path will be placed into the
-textfield.
-
-If path.module is enabled autocomplete is working for URL aliases, too.
