Since this feature is proposed for core Emacs, we are by definition
talking about "emacs -Q", not about Ivy or Helm. The latter have
infrastructure on which to build the feature you want without any
changes in core.

Generalizations are sometimes useful tools for making decisions and
getting one's point across.

Indeed, I think it would be useless, even harmful.
