I agree. It would be great to have a completion system based on textual
overlays. At least, the also excellent company-mode is in ELPA, but it's
currently unusable on Emacs24 with an activated header-line (yes, I
reported it).

CEDET has its own completion system with various display styles, but
they're all not as good as company-mode or auto-complete.
