In addition to the 'horizontal' and 'vertical' completion formats, it
would be useful to have a 'single-column' format that displays
completions vertically, one per line, regardless of the window width.

Rationale: for speech output users, when the cursor moves to the
beginning of a line the screen reader typically reads out the whole
line. Having several completions on the same line read at once is
confusing.

Note: the same result can be achieved by reformatting the completions
buffer in a completion-setup-hook but it would be much easier to just
customize completions-format

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This was added a few months later by this commit:

commit b5e34c34bcd81a0f261a5ee6dedaf51261ae5025
Author:     Juri Linkov <juri <at> linkov.net>
AuthorDate: Wed Nov 25 22:24:11 2020 +0200

    * lisp/minibuffer.el (completions-format): Add new value 'one-column'.
