Initially, I wanted to just modify ido-mode to not scroll to the last
candidate from the first one on `previous-line'.  After I saw how
incomprehensible and weird the code was, I didn't want to modify it
anymore.

So I see ivy-mode as a replacement of ido-mode with vertical mod and
slightly different matching. It may not do as much as ido-mode, but the
code is very simple.

And actually, I did start with icomplete-mode as a template for
ivy-mode. Some similarities still remain.
