are files - e.g. the buffer list, or the process list, or the magit
status buffer - there is a well-used affordance for elisp to put
semi-persistent interactable content onscreen - do we need such a
thing here or is it ok to say "just call gtk" to command authors

when input widget is active for a parameter, show the completions
flowbox
while typing, use the typed input to get a completions list. each
completion is an acceptable value: convert to a gtk widget by calling
(to-label value) and add to flowbox.
if the value is a table
if :to-label key present, use it as-is
else Gtk.Label { :label value.value }
else (assume it's a string)
Gtk.Label { :label value }
on RET, check there is a completion value whose stringification
matches the input string. Hide the flowbox
to activate a rendered completion, the callback needs to perform the
same action as RET would on the chosen value
is there a role for TAB?

I think we're misusing the commander to show url and error messages
and key prompts. It's OK to have that part of the screen be multipurpose
but philosophically those things are not related to the command system.
- hide commander when inactive and replace it with echo area
- move it to bottom?
commander can't hide itself, it needs to ask its parent to hide it
