Interesting settings... I try on "M-x man" and "C-x C-f" and found that some
times *Completions* buffer more valuable then icomplete, but if there are only
a few suggestions then icomplete is better.

Seems that "eval-after-load" unnecessary in your snippet:

 * icomplete.el introduced is 1993 with ";;;autoload".
 * icomplete-with-completion-tables was added in 2006 as "defvar".
