I turned the slime-complete-symbol*-fancy off by default. To turn it
back on just use e.g. `M-x customize-group slime-mode'.

I find it trips me up too much and there's no obvious Right way for it
to work. Another example is functions where the arguments are
optional: should a closing paren be inserted? Since I type a lot
faster than I think the unpredictability slows me down a bit.

Open question!
