I can't remember what hacks are used in CRM, but we do have "a function
that would return the current completion boundaries to use": it's what
`completion-at-point-functions` is for.

I think the long-term direction is clear: `completion-at-point` should
be used not just "in buffer" but in the minibuffer as well.
We could start that journey by making use of it for CRM.
