FWIW, I think we could still add those signals when we need them in the future. It seems reasonable to me for the code completion flag to co-exist with ranking signals that could potentially overlap.

I can remove them but it seems odd to me to not have code completion level tests for all cases because we assume that it will behave a certain way at the symbol collection and querying levels.
FWIW, I am not against those tests at all; increasing coverage is always a nice thing to do IMO. I just thought it would make more sense to add them in a separate patch if they are not related to changes in this patch; I found unrelated tests a bit confusing otherwise.

I think this could also be a comment in the code :)
