The most I go into this the most convinced I get that
completion-auto-select and selecting the Completions windows is the
simplest and cleaner way to go.

The wrap behavior is only set for tab and backtab commands (yes, it is
hardcoded there... don't blame me) not even for all next-completion
uses. I prefer not to touch that code anymore or add more stuff
there... At some point we will decide to fix/replace the mouse-face
approach there and all this will be a nightmare to support the legacy
behavior.

I already tried that in the first version of zcomplete I did long time
ago. And you said (and I agreed) that it was too complicated.
