But "test" is not actually a match. It's "Test" that's the match. We're
fuzzing the difference via completion-ignore-case. Suppose you're typing
in incremental text and the program is displaying the best match so far:
(1) t => Test
(2) te => Test
(3) tes => Test
(4) test => test
(5) testo => TestOne
(6) teston => TestOne
(7) testone => TestOne
It looks weird to have the initial lowercase `t' only on line (4).
