I surveyed a bunch of user configurations online, and saw that it is not
that uncommon for people to globally enable automatic completion pop ups
with company and corfu.  As Eason Huang reports, the new
`ispell-completion-at-point` probably makes such pop ups rather noisy.

I see that Dmitry (CC'd) already addressed this in company (by skipping
this capf).  I suppose corfu could do something along the same lines
(CC'ing Daniel as well)...  Do you guys think that's a reasonable remedy?
