In the patch I sent earlier, yank-pop doesn't insert the string selected
from the *Completions* buffer.  It searches for selected completion string
in the kill-ring (using `member' that ignores the `display' property),
gets its position in the kill-ring, and calls `yank' with this position
as a numeric index.
