Shouldn't we be concerned that this overrides display-sort-function 
returned by the completion table?

Maybe some sort of customizable mechanism is in order, similar to 
completion-styles.

Or more simply, we just leave it to the completion table's author to set 
display-sort-function to a special value that makes use of these 
properties. It's not like setting it to a different value is going to 
make sense in this case.

Is this for debugging?
