There is code to do this (was already there before this patch).
Unfortunately it is not so easy to detect when a "completion is
finally done".  

Currently the buffer is closed after a completion, when the user types
one of the chars "()\"'`,# \r\n:" after.  We also wait for the next
possibility when the user inserts a self-inserting char, completes
again or a hits backspace.  We give up if the user does something
else, like switching to another buffer.

If you have a better or simpler idea, please speak up :)

Helmut.
