Sorry if I'm confusing you or myself. The categories are what you get when you split all the candidate strings based on the word syntax. partial-completion-mode does the same thing, the difference is that it expects you to know that you can use z-x-y because there's a zeta-xray-yogurt variable. My proposal tries to display just the categories to condense the list of candidates, refining and digging deeper into the categories whenever possible until there's a small enough list of candidates.
