It seems to me that it does not work as well as my code, alas.  A few 
points:

- with C-x C-f the default completion, between angle brackets in the 
original icomplete code, is not shown anymore, unless there is a single 
candidate (for example in a directory with "foo", "bar1", "bar2", "f" will 
give "f[oo]" but "b" will give "b[]"); in other words, the "[]" after the 
point usually serves no purpose

- likewise, with M-x there is a "()" after the point that usually serves 
no purpose

- if I type "M-x icomplete-m", I see the following:

M-x icomplete-m(ode)
|

where "|" represents the cursor (on the next line!)

- when the current line after the prompt is too long the prompt disappears

- when completing a unique completion with TAB the point is moved to the 
next line
