Thanks, I'll try it soon and report the results.

comint.el forces *Completions* to close and shows the interpreter
immediately, in its place. That's what I want, exactly. Showing the
interpreter in place of *Completions* would have the same effect, so
it's what I want, too.

Yes, but that's no problem as I'll be able to quickly resurrender it
by hitting M-Tab.

My code window occupies full frame most of the time. That allows me to
see more code.
