I would prefer the more automatic behaviour I proposed as having 
completion-annotations face is nice when the client has not thought 
about it but when the client has provided a string with a face it is 
likely the client wants exactly that face and not a combination with 
completion-annotations face. Basing the decision on a provided prefix 
seems a bit arbitrary and one would need to figure this out by looking 
at the code.
