Why just 'n' and 'p'?  If we want more commands to move between
completions, I could think about several others: <, >, C-f, C-b, C-n,
C-p, Home, End, the arrow keys, etc.

However, these bindings are only available if one makes *Completions*
the current buffer, right?  Which rarely if ever happens in
TAB-completion scenarios, right?  If so, is that really helpful to
have these additional bindings, and if so, in what use cases?
