It seems to me that the issue here is that icomplete expects one
to accept completions via C-j
(`minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit`) rather than RET (which is
bound to `minibuffer-exit`). i myself find this behaviour
counterintuitive, and would prefer that RET also be bound to
`minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit`, since i would still be able
to exit the minibuffer via C-g. i wonder if there are people
relying on RET being bound to `minibuffer-exit`?
