This is valuable experience. It looks like you render rich annotations
depending on the available candidates, and reformat the output
when the number of candidates and their sizes are changing,
like the horizontal completions format in the default frontend
tries to fit as many as possible completions on the same line.
But it seems this works only for limited cases like simple and short
prefix/suffix strings. I can't imagine how such design could handle
multi-columnar rich annotations.
