Subject: Make ido respect completions-common-part face

Hi,
This would allow the user to customize the display of the common part of completions, e.g. remove the decorators around it and only distinguish it by using a different face (which looks much cleaner). Company also display the common part this way (see the `company-preview-common` face).

Here's a advice based snippet that does what I want. It does not seem to handle colors properly but since completions-common-part just underlines text for me, it's ok:

(defun luis-propertize-ido-common-match-string (&rest _)
  (when ido-common-match-string
    (setq ido-common-match-string
          (propertize ido-common-match-string
                      'face 'completions-common-part))))

(defun luis-unpropertize-ido-common-match-string (&rest _)
  (when ido-common-match-string
    (setq ido-common-match-string
          (propertize ido-common-match-string
                      'face nil))))

(advice-add 'ido-completions :before
            #'luis-propertize-ido-common-match-string)
(advice-add 'ido-completions :after
            #'luis-unpropertize-ido-common-match-string)

Best regards,
Luis

Could you post a screenshot of the result that you see?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
years, so I'm closing this bug report.  If this is something that should
still be worked on, please respond to this email and we'll reopen the
bug report.
