I originally suggested "identifier" and then changed my mind before
sending the message: the problem, really, is that things like M-x
completion also complete identifiers/symbols yet I'm not convinced they
should use the same category.
Then again, maybe they should.

Of course, a better option might be a new style `pc-substring', which
combines partial completion and substring, so that "f-t" matches not
only things like "find-tag" but also "buffer-face-toggle".

That's been on the "todo" for "ever", but I just got used to typing
"*f-t" or "-f-t" when I need this kind of functionality.
