I'm not convinced with this approach. At least, AFAICS, different users 
prefer to merge different backends together. For instance, some 
https://github.com/iquiw/company-ghc users like to merge its results 
with the plain company-dabbrev-code. Some, I believe, don't.

If the completion function gets to decide that, it would be harder for 
users to customize.

I've installed the in-string-or-comment piece of logic that's been 
missing compared to company-elisp, so this bug should be settled.

The distinction between manual and idle completion doesn't seem to be 
very useful here, so let's leave that until there's a definite demand 
for it.

`company-elisp' does that, by the way.
