The problem is that we want the display to indicate that the current
field is an exact match. Currently this is visible thanks to the "{| ...}".
So if we want to let the empty string move elsewhere (and hence
potentially off-screen), we need another way to indicate that we have an
exact match.

No, it just makes a lot of sense in the current situation. Note that if
we let the empty string appear elsewhere, we may also want to use
"a | | b" instead of "a | | b", tho it's clearly less important.
