Nope.

Hm...  that's a possibility.  Although it might be a bit fragile.

What I'm using this for is to display "electric" completions in the
To/Cc headers.  The new ecomplete package tries to be as (un)obtrusive
as the completion you get in Firefox/Thunderbird.  The traditional
Emacs way of doing this is by popping up new buffers, which I think is
too obtrusive for this kind of thing.

Tooltips might be a possibility.
