Yes, my thoughts too after watching the screencast. However, we might be
better served if those alternatives do not tie themselves to helm
explicitly. There are many completion/fuzzy-finding/etc frameworks there
and even Emacs proper is thinking of adopting one. See this (gigantic)
thread:

I for one would be quite happy with ido, icomplete or even bare
completing-read for these (these are all built into emacs already).
