      In principle, I agree, but in practice I have never used emacs, so 
it is hard for me to borrow from it.  Anyway, word_complete.vim 
automatically invokes <C-P>, then highlights the completion in Select 
mode.  It works by mapping every alphabetic character (or maybe only the 
lower-case ones).

      Who was it who said, "Lesser artists borrow.  Great artists steal"?
