Note that this is needed for "fraction" only because there are matches
with the "fraction" prefix.  If you do `C-x 8 RET fifth TAB TAB` you'll
already get the list of matches with have `fifth` as a substring.

This is because of `completion-category-defaults` which says:

    ...
    (unicode-name (styles basic substring))
    ...

so it first tries `basic` completion, and if that doesn't find anything
then it uses `substring` completion (and if that fails, it falls back
to the default which includes `partial-completion`).
