Is it possible to make minibuffer separate widget? We could then do something
like:
zle .minibuffer "Prompt string" <parameter> ...
with semantics:
minibuffer reads input key with normal editing capabilities. Anything, that is
not consumed by minibuffer, is assigned to <parameter>. We could pass additional
parameters to switch off editing if raw input is needed.
This should probably return some indication that minibuffer was cancelled (with
^G or anything else) to provide loop termination condition.
