You haven't answered my question about support for icomplete-mode. Do 
you only support Ido?

I'm happy you made it work, but I think it would be better to handle the 
general approach. Meaning, instead of hardcoding the names of (private) 
variables, scan the minibuffer, look for the overlays with after-string, 
order by 'priority', and read their contents one after another.

The new set-minibuffer-message feature uses the same approach if 
minibuffer is active. Although, in that case, you could advise this 
function, or set an alternative handler via the set-message-function 
variable (also just added in Emacs 27).
