Thanks. But can you confirm my hypothesis that it is possible to make
its completion table function in the `flex` style automatically, by

- having Eglot add an entry to completion-category-defaults or
  completion-category-overrides (which one?)

- having Eglot point to that entry in its completion table?

I.e. I'm only getting rid of the buffer-local hack if there's a viable
alternative (I think there is, but some confirmation would be ideal).

João
