I've been mulling over completing-help for quite a while now and I don't
think a customization var is a good solution.  Instead, we'd want
something more dynamic.  An easy solution is to put a help-echo property
on the completion string.  Otherwise some completion-list-mode command
should be provided to toggle annotations.
