There are 2 levels: the level of try-completion, all-completions, an
completion-boundaries. At that level, the completion should not affect
the text outside of the boundaries. This is the level at which
completion-tables operate.
Then there's the level of completion-try-completion and
completion-all-completions. This uses the info from the previous level
to implement completion according to completion-styles. It can change
things outside of the boundaries. This is part of the UI, not of
the backends.

Then "/u/s/d" returns no completion candidates.

It's not in elpa yet.

The backends know nothing about completion styles.

Exactly.
