Thanks for the prod, Eshel. Good getting things back on track.

It seems to me that corfu's `corfu-preview-current` option does just
that when set to `insert`. I tried it, and to me at least it seemed to
do what you describe.

In that light, I'd mostly concur with what Eli commented last Thursday:

With the difference that I would advocate for corfu being included.
