Apparently there is something I am still missing about
display-sort-function. I admit to not have looked very hard at it. This
is probably why I didn't understand your suggestion.

Why don't we do this:  I add the two (presumably) unproblematic commits
(the new flex style + propertize completions with a numeric property), you
show me a patch where display-sort-function is plugged into the style,
supposing it is not very hard to do.  Deal?
