Thanks, now finally we'll have this long-needed feature.
The first question: should it depend on the value of
'minibuffer-visible-completions'? OTOH, even when it's nil,
*Completions* can be displayed by non-nil completion-eager-display.
So the only problem is that when the *Completions* window is removed
(e.g. when no candidates remains), it never comes back to the display
(e.g. after deleting previous characters).
Or maybe this is not a problem, I have to test it more.
