Yes, it was useful but it was completely broken, echoing this info
regardless if the minibuffer input was actually meant to represent
a command name or not.

So, to have it back, someone will have to write it in the right way,
such that the echo is only performed for M-x completion and not (for
example) for buffer name completion.
