pause typing (on idle) rather than immediately.

* lisp/completion-preview.el (Commentary): Update.
(completion-preview--try-update):
(completion-preview--update-from-timer): New functions.
(completion-preview--timer): New buffer-local variable.
(completion-preview-idle-delay): New user option.

;;; Commentary:
;; This library provides the Completion Preview mode. This minor mode
;; displays a completion suggestion for the symbol at point in an
;; overlay after point. Check out the customization group
;; `completion-preview' for user options that you may want to tweak.
;;
;; To enable Completion Preview mode, use `completion-preview-mode'.
;; To accept the completion suggestion, press TAB. If you want to
;; ignore a completion suggestion, just go on editing or moving around
;; the buffer. Completion Preview mode continues to update the
;; suggestion as you type according to the text around point.
;;
;; The commands `completion-preview-next-candidate' and
;; `completion-preview-prev-candidate' allow you to cycle the
;; completion candidate that the preview suggests. These commands
;; don't have a default keybinding, but you can bind them, for
;; example, to M-n and M-p in `completion-preview-active-mode-map' to
;; have them handy whenever the preview is visible.
;;
;; When the completion candidate that the preview is showing shares a
;; common prefix with all other candidates, Completion Preview mode
;; underlines that common prefix. If you want to insert the common
;; prefix but with a different suffix than the one the preview is
;; showing, use the command `completion-preview-complete'. This command
;; inserts just the common prefix and lets you go on typing as usual.
;; If you invoke `completion-preview-complete' when there is no common
;; prefix (so nothing is underlined in the preview), it displays a list
;; of all matching completion candidates.
;;
;; If you set the user option `completion-preview-exact-match-only' to
;; non-nil, Completion Preview mode only suggests a completion
;; candidate when its the only possible completion for the (partial)
;; symbol at point. The user option `completion-preview-commands'
;; says which commands should trigger the completion preview. The
;; user option `completion-preview-minimum-symbol-length' specifies a
;; minimum number of consecutive characters with word or symbol syntax
;; that should appear around point for Emacs to suggest a completion.
;; By default, this option is set to 3, so Emacs suggests a completion
;; if you type "foo", but typing just "fo" doesn't show the preview.
;; If you want the preview to appear also after non-symbol characters,
;; such as punctuation, set `completion-preview-minimum-symbol-length'
;; to nil. If you do so, you may want to customize the user option
;; `completion-preview-idle-delay' to have the preview appear only
;; when you pause typing for a short duration rather than after every
;; key. Try setting it to 0.2 seconds and see how that works for you.
