Yes, something like that, tho I think it'd be more like "show matches
eagerly" or maybe "use selection UI" ;-)

Also, rather than a new var, I'd prefer using something like the "extra
properties" (`completion-extra-properties`) since these already have a
matching mechanism for the `completion-at-point` case.
