What I think is that ideally icomplete-in-buffer in a regular buffer
should work like in the minibuffer, i.e. to be active all the time.
This is more like completion-preview-mode where in-buffer candidates
are shown as you type, whereas explicitly typing M-C-i pops up
the *Completions* buffer.  Do you agree this would be nice to do?
