What is "it"? "It" === "Eli's suggestion"?

What tweak do you suggest? The explicit point in this patch
was _not_ to list shorthands as completions, for the reasons
that I gave many times already and that led to Eli's suggestion.
If you can implement that without a completion style that's fine
(but it seems it's the nicest way).
