Thanks for suggestions, now done.

It already is, enabling 'capf-autosuggest-mode' in an ordinary buffer
displays an auto-suggestion for the first completion at point candidate
as you type. By default, it is only displayed if point is at EOL.
However, I don't advertise this feature that much mostly because I find
it a bit intrusive. For more information, including how to lift the EOL
restriction, you can read the ";;;; Details" section.
History auto-suggestion in comint and eshell is actually just a special
case of this general mechanism for displaying the first completion at
point candidate. In comint and eshell, point is on the last line most of
the time which means that the auto-suggestions aren't obtrusive, in
fact, they are quite helpful. That is why this package mostly advertises
this sub-feature.
