So you could cycle among the defaults in the > opposite order. 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 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.
