it's possible, but you'll soon find it's a very bad idea, even with only 
40 users. it's a lot easier to use a 3 character substring and get a 
decent match than paging through 5-10 people with the same first letter 
of their name. we have this silly "feature" in our bugzilla and i'm very 
close to commandeering the bugzilla to remove it. it drives me crazy.
