Shouldn't the UI of icomplete-in-buffer be the same as the UI of icomplete in the minibuffer? That is, only when the user types TAB, it should display the *Completions* buffer, either in the minibuffer or in the regular buffer. But otherwise on typing characters it should display inline candidates immediately, without requiring to type TAB, i.e. something like 'completion-preview-mode' already does.
