Important for the completion style author mostly, though. It's not like
a regular user could do something about it. Isn't that right?

Okay, but... our particular flex implementation doesn't do the free-form
matching like that. Do you intend to extend it in that direction?

Okay. That would still mean two different execution flows.

Because its main frontend is a popup which looks and, to an extent,
behaves like the completion popups in other editors. So it's really
expected to behave more or less the same. company-tng also implements
one of the simplified workflows from the other editors.
