I will just settle for whatever is chosen by you - empty space within
braces is good.
How about subtly fontifying the minibuffer contents itself. I mean the
whole `field-string', the string that is typed by the user which is
/not/ the display overlay.
We can also have:
1. an empty space with some background fontification
2. a non-breaking space
Both (1) and (2) without surrouding `()'.
As a side note:
Drew suggested unicode '*'.
I went with a control character because:
1. It suggests what my fingers should do
2. Control characters are less like to occur in completions.
ps: Is ^M as a literal two character text more palatable than ^M as an
escape glyph.
