I see, personally I think of all strings besides the completions 
themselves as annotations ;) Makes sense to do it only for the suffix then.

I guess this could also be used, the version I posted earlier only 
checks for the face property and then also check the whole string:

(if (text-property-not-all 0 (length str) 'face nil str)
        str
      (propertize str 'face face))


When only the face matters my proposed version might be better?
