Much more useful would be to display a complete list of suggestions,
so the users would be able to select the necessary element easily.
This is how it works in web browsers: a drop-down list with suggestions
is displayed where you can use up/down-arrow keys to select the suggestion.
Web browsers combine two types of lists into one suggestion box:
previously entered elements from the history and new suggestions
(often based on popular searches).
In Emacs the keybinding that works like this is <prior> or M-v
(`switch-to-completions'). But currently it doesn't display suggestions.
It could be enhanced to sort completions and put suggestions on the top
of the *Completions* list.
