I think that's a very high bar (ivy and friends are already pretty good 
as "selecting read" UIs too).

Rather than besting them, I think the criterion can be to have something 
better than both built-in completing-read and icomplete as 
selecting-read, and could be accepted by our users as better replacement 
in those cases in core code which we have identified as "needs selection 
UI".
