When I wrote that code (and that comment), my main goal was to rewrite
the C code into ELisp, introduce the `completion-styles` system and add
`partial-completion` to the default.

To maximize the chances that it be accepted, I made every effort to try
and preserve the old behavior w.r.t everything else.

I think this can be changed.
Patches welcome.
