(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
`C-j' is bound to `icomplete-force-complete-and-exit', and it calls
`minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit' unconditionally, which deletes the
buffer contents. I can't get icomplete-in-buffer to work in either
*shell* or in other modes -- has this feature gotten much testing/use?
Are there cases where it works?
Adding Stefan to the CCs, since he hadded this in 2013.
