It could work, tho it requires changing all the corresponding completion
tables to provide the other "filling" when needed.
I think this should be fixable/fixed without needing to touch the
completion tables.

And if we add such `completion-initials-separator' properties, we'll be
stuck with them "for ever", so I'd rather not go there if there's
a chance we might not need them.
