One possibility for displaying more than the space allows is to put the full text on the prompt string as property `help-echo'. That works (if someone has a mouse and thinks to mouseover the prompt), but no, it's not ideal. (And it works only when `tooltip-mode' is enabled.) Another possibility would be to bind a minibuffer key in Ido or Icomplete or whatever, to show the full info in a popup on demand. No, I'm not proposing anything. No such hacks sound good to me.
