Subject: 27.0.50;
 completions-annotations face should not be based on italic by default
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 17:16:37 +0100

When using insert-char interactively to insert т (CYRILLIC SMALL
LETTER TE), the completions buffer uses the completions-annotations
face to display the character after the full unicode name. т is one of
those characters for which the italic glyph is very different from the
non-italic one (it actually looks like an 'm'), which is highly
misleading for the user.

The easy solution would be to just base the completions-annotations
face on the default face, but Iʼm sure thereʼs a historical reason for
its existence.
