I'd rather not define a new function for this trick. After all

   ungetkey ('\t');
   str = read_with_completion ("Larry,Curly,Moe", "Favorite Stooge:",
 			       "Larry", "", 's');

is not more complicated than finding out about the _show_now variant.

IMHO, including the example in the online documentation would be the simpler
way.
