I've added both completion categories and eager-display. Please see the
attached patch. As soon as there is a completion category, overriding
will work. While the completion category is a necessary prerequisite to
support overriding, adding eager-display at either places should do.
Also note the addition of the completion-eager-display defcustom (with
values nil, t, auto), which will make it much easier to turn off eager
display globally.
