FWIW, the choice of using a fallback to `completion-style` was made for
`completion-category-defaults` so that those package-choices don't
unilaterally override the user's choice in `completion-style`.

For `completion-category-override` there is indeed not much need for
a fallback, since it's set by the same person as `completion-style`.
