Description
I was wondering if multiline autosuggestion was possible/planned.
Currently if you return a Suggestion with new lines, it will display as ^J.
I understand there might be challenges like having the prompt jump up and down.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing how Suggestion values are rendered in the command-line prompt and how newline characters become ^J; review the prompt layout behavior when content spans multiple lines. Done means multiline autosuggestions render as intended without causing the prompt to jump unpredictably.
