Try the recipe given in the bug report. You should see now that after
M-C-/ the possible completions get listed (in icomplete-mode style) on
the same line (via an overlay).
The `icomplete-in-buffer` functionality is very rough around the edges.
I only implemented it as a kind of "proof of concept". I think things
like `corfu-mode` work much better (because they don't displace
existing text in the buffer, they are just drawn on top of it).
[ To be honest, in my memory (from when I wrote the code), the list was
shown in the echo area rather than "inline". ]
