Started reading from through "21.6 Completion".  It has been said 
that the keybindings when using completing-read depend on the 
completion framework one is using.  But it is quite tricky for
a user to determine what completion framework one is currently 
using and the associated key bindings for navigation.  

Perhaps there can be a command that returns the completion 
framework and the keybindings associated with using completing-read. 
Nevertheless, with completing-read the user simply gets a prompt
without much indication about completion frameworks and about
any keybinding shortcuts to traverse entries.
