Are multi-line completions better shown inline? If I had to choose, I 
might actually choose the opposite: show the shorter ones inline, and 
the long ones in a separate buffer -- so that the current buffer's text 
doesn't jump up and down as I'm typing something.

But that strongly depends on how those long completions are going to be 
presented, whether they should replace the current text or just add new 
one (multiple lines of it), whether they are allowed to vary a lot, etc.
