Why `prescient`, `company-prescient`, `corfu-prescient`,
`vertico-prescient` need to be separate packages? Can't they bundle
together as a single package? Eglot has additional support for company
despite that company isn't a builtin package yet, and eglot doesn't have
a `company-eglot` additional package.
