read-from-minibuffer has the following arguments. Let's see which ones
should remain for the new function with a name like read-from-buffer
that will read from the editing buffer:
PROMPT - probably necessary to insert some explanatory text, such as
for example the text inserted at the top of the *Completions* buffer:
"Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:"
INITIAL-CONTENTS - an obsolete alternative to DEFAULT-VALUE;
KEYMAP - useful to provide a special keymap in the editing buffer;
READ - interpret the result as a Lisp object and return that object;
HIST - not sure, what functionality should be associated with the history
in the editing buffer;
DEFAULT-VALUE - necessary to specify the value to return after typing
`C-c C-c' in the empty buffer;
INHERIT-INPUT-METHOD - necessary as well
The new arguments should be the same as currently for the function
display-buffer:
BUFFER-OR-NAME - the name of the editing buffer;
ACTION - display action like display-buffer-below-selected or
display-buffer-at-bottom.
