"it becomes clear..." Maybe, maybe not. If you have N completion matches and their explicit display shows only N-5 of them, you might want to know that there are 5 more. In Icicles, by default, the number of candidates currently shown, and the total number, are indicated in the mode-line: e.g. "149/567 shown". And the mode-line lighter includes "..." when not all are shown. (If not all candidates are shown it's because you've chosen to limit the number to show.)
