Dmitry, thank you for looking at the patch!
What do you mean exactly by "it does not work well"? There was an issue
with `choose-completion` which I just fixed in the revised version of
the patch, where the command `choose-completion` returned the
transformed candidate.

I am sure we can find more uses. But this functionality is also targeted
at package authors who want to write commands with an UI enhanced by
grouping.

I've chosen the text property approach such that the group title
retrieval does not lead to allocations (transform=nil). The
transform=nil call is performance critical for continuously updating UIs
like Icomplete, Vertico etc., since the candidates are grouped after
sorting. When displaying the set of candidates in the *Completions*
buffer or a subset of the candidates in the minibuffer, the allocations
do not hurt as much.

Okay, I will change this.
