No, it's the opposite. Stefan asked why I couldn't do what I do now in my
redefined `completing-read', `read-file-name' etc. in
`minibuffer-setup-hook' instead. What I replied ("above") was that I was
already doing all that could be done on that hook (via
`icicle-minibuffer-setup', which is on that hook). IOW, I was saying that I
didn't think that more that is done in `completing-read' etc. could be moved
to `minibuffer-setup-hook' (e.g. to `icicle-minibuffer-setup').

I explained it in detail in my last reply to Stefan.

Please see my last mail to Stefan, where I replied in detail about each bit
of code in each standard function that I redefine, including
`completing-read'. I detail some solutions and clarify some remaining
questions.
Summary: I think some things can be dropped and others would need, IMO, to
be moved into standard Emacs functions such as `completing-read'.
We can address those explanations one by one, if you like.
