Re: feature/icomplete-vertical

Hi Ergus,

I gave your icomplete-vertical a try.  It seems to work well so far, but 
there is one thing that does not work as expected (or, at least, as I 
expect it to work): for some reason when you complete a filename 
(find-file), the first candidate './' has been taken out of the candidate 
list (with both icomplete-format 'vertical and 'horizontal), which means 
that I see ("[]" is the point):

Find file: ~/[]/ | { <other candidates> }

or:

Find file: ~/[]./
<other candidates>

I do not understand why this is the case.

Likewise, when there are multiple candidates, icomplete-vertical behaves 
in a counterintuitive way with find-file, for example I see (with two 
candidate directories "foofoo and "foobar"):

Find file: ~/foo[]foofoo
foobar
