AFAIK, the exit-function is a global property that applies to the whole
completion, whereas the annotation function is related to the
all-completions output, which can vary depending on where point is
(e.g. in file-name completion the *Completions* buffer may list files or
envvars, so you may need two different annotation-functions).
Hence the exit-function doesn't make much sense in the completion
table's metadata.
