I'm a bit late to the icomplete-vertical party, but please let me show
you my approach at supporting "\n" in 'icomplete-separator'.

A side-note: I think the use of "..." to indicate that there are more
entries is a bad idea.  Better represent it with the absence of
a terminator (e.g. in the normal icomplete-mode, it basically means
replace "...}"  with "").  It will make the code simpler, more robust,
and a side benefit is that it will make slightly more efficient use of
the screen real estate.

Hi Stefan I agree that taking a like only for the ellipsis is
inefficient witht he space. Actually the ellipsis is something I would
like to discuss, but nobody put attention on it before ;(, so I was
basically waiting to receive some feedback (and complains) respecting to
that maybe after pushing into master..

The problem in vertical is that it will be "better" if we don't add {}
 or if it is at least customizable (to have a more ivy-like
 experience). What I thought maybe would be to add the ellipsis in the
 same line of the last candidate like:

aaa
bbb
ccc...

or so... But it was not good enough in my opinion. WDYT?
