Sure.  I'm not sold on vertical display of completions in the echo area
but prefer the column-oriented *Completions* buffer because more
completions are visible at a time.  And I prefer having up/down arrows
stick to their usual history navigation commands rather than having them
select between prev/next completion candidate.
