Hmm no, it doesn't do quite the same thing.  I use `corfu` with those
settings myself, alongside with `completion-preview-mode`, which
operates as you type without invoking your in-buffer completion UI.  You
can enable `completion-preview-mode` and start typing in some
programming buffer to see the difference.
