I see, thanks.

However, I'm not sure your proposal is the optimal solution: what will
happen if ido-exhibit uses the old code, and a message is displayed
while the user goes through the completion candidates?  The trick with
the overlay was to make sure the message is displayed without
overwriting the minibuffer prompt.
