> How about subtly fontifying the minibuffer contents itself.
The problem is that this can already be fontified by various other
options and packages, so there's a good chance that it will
interact poorly. Also it might not work at all in a tty.

An empty space is actually not a bad idea. I also considered
a checkmark ✓, but a space is simple and works everywhere.
> Drew suggested unicode '*'.
Yes, that could work as well. Also he suggested putting it within the
{...} rather than before it.

Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! That's where it came from!! OK, it makes more sense, now.
So, there is logic to it, but I completely missed it.

Same difference, since it's only the visual appearance that
matters here.
