Okay, I did not mean to disregard what you did, but I did this before it 
was an internal functionality (based on a code snippet I found somewhere). 
I doubt the config you indicate would suffice to do what I have (and 
want), unless there is an option to do "(replace-regexp-in-string "^" 
(make-string (current-column) ? ) (match-string 2 cnp))".  That is, to 
have the completion candidates presented under the cursor (instead of on 
the left of the minibuffer).
