I guess the backend could provide a property which would cause
completion--nth-completion to just pass the request to the completion-table.
That would be an easy change in minibuffer.el. But I'd first like to
see how that would work out on the backend side: it might turn out to be
pretty difficult to make it work well, or at least it might require
exposing more of minibuffer.el's code (i.e. turn some "--" into "-",
which implies thinking hard about whether that's really an API with
which we want to live for a long time).
Unless it is used to override the completion-styles: the omnisharp
completion could simply ignore completion-styles and use its own
omnisharp-server-provided behavior.

That sounds like a request that applies to all backends, i.e. is only
part of the UI.

Currently the only UI which uses completion-styles indeed has no idea
which style was used and that hasn't been a problem. In general,
I can't see why that info would be necessary.
