That's true.
One possibility for displaying more than the space
allows is to put the full text on the prompt string
as property `help-echo'. That works (if someone has a
mouse and thinks to mouseover the prompt), but no, it's
not ideal. (And it works only when `tooltip-mode' is
enabled.)
Another possibility would be to bind a minibuffer key in
Ido or Icomplete or whatever, to show the full info in a
popup on demand.
No, I'm not proposing anything. No such hacks sound
good to me.
