Did you test the branch that me and Gregory are working
on off-list?

Probably we should be on-list.  The branch is
scratch/icomplete-vertical-mode-gregory-and-joao and it's
functionally equivalent to Gregory's last on-list patch but a bit
simpler and cleaner on the implementation.

C-n and C-p are supported, but indeed C-v and M-v are not.
It's a good idea to support them, yes. And maybe your idea is
the best way.  Feel free to add a commit or two to that branch.
Else, let's just push this simpler version to master.
