I suggested to accept a `setup-function` argument, which would replace the
`minibuffer-with-setup-hook` hack, so instead of

    (completing-read MYPROMPT ... MYINIT-INPUT ...)

with the new API you could do

    (mynew-completing-read MYPROMPT ...
                           (lambda () (insert "MYINIT-INPUT"))
                           ...)
