Yes (but on only)  And those were the functions who now get an optional
group-fun arg (also often 'if'ed against sometimes only threaded).

I think it has to do with the way Juri (or someone else) implemented
affixation function and annotation function, which was what I was trying
to touch to experiment with resolution-function ideas. Sometimes as completion
is represented by a cons (string annotation-prefix annotation-suffix)
sometimes only a string.  It could be a string always, with properties.
Or a struct.  But let's leave it at string and never cons.

Works, but can't we just find we're making the (presumably) useless cons
and just do a propertized string there?   I'd prefer to take a clearer look at
where this messiness was introduced and clean it there.  Which
is commonly why I look at other nearby cleanup opportunities and bring
them up here.  From where I stand this time (code only in master) is when
to strike the iron with the "aesthetics" hammer, which for me normally
translates to "use less code that does the same (and usually quicker)".
