And as I said users might want to display these annotations with their own formatting, e.g. to display only some but not all of them in the minibuffer.

This is not a good idea in my opinion, at least for the `annotation-functions`. Annotations are only strings, there is not much formatting the user can do here.


That's your opinion. Some users might want to display only the prefix, or only the suffix, or the prefix and the suffix after the completion candidate, or display the suffix with only one space between the candidate and the suffix, or filter prefixes and suffixes (IOW display only some but not all of them), and so forth.
