IIUC ivy-mode treats the minibuffer's content as a regexp, so the user
can write any fancy regexp she wants.  In that case, the above is
actually not guaranteed.  E.g.  "foo" matches fewer candidates than
"foo?".

Why not use string-prefix-p?

True, it's an optimization for the most basic use of space separated
words. But I was playing around with filtering the 3000000 lines git
grep in the emacs repo, and I wanted to see if it would be faster with
the optimization.

I'll either add a custom var to turn this optimization on/off or try to
check if the input is just space-separated words.

Because I didn't know about it. I'll switch.

Yes, this sucks.  Currently, I think the best mechanism in Emacs to
perform such highlighting is fontification-functions, but that is used
by jit-lock.  So you could use jit-lock-register, but it would cause
re-font-locking the (visible part of) the buffer, which also sucks.

jit-lock should ideally be extended to better deal with "multiple
clients" so that it is able to understand that some parts of the buffer
have already been handled by some clients (currently, it's all or
nothing: either jit-lock thinks that a part of the buffer has been
handled by all clients, or it thinks that it's been handled by none).

It's not a big deal for swiper: in this case, just double the window
height gets overlays, instead of single window height.
The advantage is that I don't have to deal with callbacks and sequencing.

Thanks to the new and improved `counsel-git-grep' I found this in the Changelog:

Could someone help me with this issue: when I combine `while-no-input'
and `shell-command-to-string` I get annoying "Waiting for process to
die...done" messages interrupting by minibuffer?

That assumes that the displayed text lines have indeed the
expected height.  If you play with images, change the size of some
fonts, play with text-scale-adjust, or with invisible text, you may bump
into corner cases where you code will get it wrong.  Or if the scroll
goes much further for some reason.
