That looks ugly and I don't find the ^M to be very intuitive.
Basically there are 2 options:
- Let "" be anywhere in the {...} list rather than only at the beginning.
This would seem inconvenient if it's not compensated by some other
"Complete, but not unique" marker. Your ^M is one such option.
We could also keep an empty () (or []), which is fairly logical and
might be vaguely intuitive.
- Force "" to be at the beginning and have minibuffer-force-complete
skip the empty completion, so the user would have to hit RET rather
than C-j to select the exact text he typed.
