by Itai Y. Efrat :: Glue code that adds icons
+ from the =all-the-icons= package to the =*Completions*= buffer. It can
+ make things prettier and/or more informative, while it can also be
+ combined with Marginalia.

++ [[https://github.com/minad/corfu/][Corfu]] by Daniel Mendler :: An interface
for the ~completion-in-region~
+ which uses a child frame (basically a pop-up) at the position of the
+ cursor to display candidates. As with all of Daniel's packages, Corfu
+ aims for a clean implementation that does the right thing by being
+ consistent with core Emacs mechanisms.
+
++ [[https://github.com/minad/cape][Cape]] also by Daniel :: Additional
~completion-at-point-functions~
+ (CAPFs) that extend those of core Emacs. These backends can be used
+ by Corfu, though their modular nature makes them suitable for use by
+ other compliant packages (e.g. a potential minimalist package that is
+ cleanly designed like Corfu but has a different interface).
