I think it would be desirable to change the default UI just enough so
that a code like Xref can make `completing-read` display the
completions eagerly.

Right away, i.e. even without the user typing anything? that'd produce
a huge list of candidates, which would be impractical to display.

I guess it depends on the usage/language/project, whether the list is "huge" often enough, or not.

But *Completions* can display large lists, it will just get cut off.
