icomplete-vertical-mode not taking effect

[arvid-harnack@lavache.com]

Ok.  I decided to take your advice to think more about the problem 



Currently (icomplete-mode 1) is necessary.   And (icomplete-vertical-mode 1) is relatively new.



Could the three wise men ditch (icomplete-vertical-mode 1).



Instead, have a variable one can set (such functionality is already being done for completion-style).



Users can just put 



(icomplete-mode 1)

(setq icomplete-vertical 1)



--------



To disable, one could use 



(setq icomplete-vertical 0)    



Moreover one can use negative numbers



(setq icomplete-vertical -1) 



--------



To disable icomplete totally, use



(icomplete-mode 0)





--------



In summary there shall be no 



(icomplete-vertical-mode 1) 



or 



(icomplete-vertical-mode 0) 



--------

Take it easy, I can guarantee you that the people who are
maintainers and review bugs care a lot about the software,
otherwise they wouldn't spend all this time and energy on it.

They just don't see this particular issue the way you do, so
they don't agree. That never happened to you before?
