No, not I. "Wise" doesn't tell me anything about it.
Nor would "DWIM". Nor would "smart". Just one opinion.
I agree with Eli that the name can better describe the
thing. And I already said that, if no better name can
be found, then `ivy-rich' would be OK, if "ivy-rich"
is in fact what it's called outside vanilla Emacs and
users can find a description by googling for "ivy rich"
or "ivy-rich".

Sorry, I don't know what it means for completions to be
column-oriented or line-oriented. But if you're saying
that that's the distinction, then sure, maybe a name
that covers that would be appropriate.
