In addition to the 'horizontal' and 'vertical' completion formats, it
would be useful to have a 'single-column' format that displays
completions vertically, one per line, regardless of the window width.
Rationale: for speech output users, when the cursor moves to the
beginning of a line the screen reader typically reads out the whole
line. Having several completions on the same line read at once is
confusing.
Note: the same result can be achieved by reformatting the completions
buffer in a completion-setup-hook but it would be much easier to just
customize completions-format

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
This was added a few months later by this commit:
