I was irritated by the results of the Autocompleter in IMP once more...

Our global addressbook contains just work-mailaddresses, so I  
configured turbas database-backend accordingly.

It was like this in backends.local.php:
** snip **
         'homePostalCode' => 'postcode',
         'workEmail' => 'email_zew',
         'workPhone' => 'phone_zew',
** snip **
         'search'=>array('name','workEmail'),
** snip **

Now I found out the reason, why the autocompleter completely ignored  
this source (lib/imp/Ajax/Imple/ContactAutoCompleter.php:46ff):
             foreach ($sparams['fields'] as $val) {
                 array_map('strtolower', $val);
                 sort($val);
                 if ($val != array('email', 'name')) {
                     $success = false;
                     break;
                 }
             }

So at least the keys email and name have to be present in source.
I think this should be mentioned somewhere in documentation, is it?
Or maybe even better, the autocompleter would accept different  
mail-fields, e.g. all fields, marked as type="email" in attributes.php?
