Add FIXME about the group-function breaking the completion highlight of
match visible words
I cannot tell why this is happening. Will need to investigate further.
I thought it might have to do with 'denote-retrieve-filename-title'
changing the match data. But the problem persists even if I put a
regular string in its case which is also found in the completion
candidates I am testing it against.
