Problem

Fuzzy matching in completion (completeopt including fuzzy) doesn't prioritize entries that begin with the entered sequence, unless it's a full word, see video:

Steps to reproduce

• nvim --clean
• :set completeopt=menuone,noselect,fuzzy

enter:

SomeWord
PrefixSomeWord

trigger keyword completion at a blank line (CTRL+X CTRL+N) and enter somewor, observe that PrefixSomeWord is above SomeWord in the completion menu

Expected behavior

The doc mention that "Matches at the beginning of a word" is a criteria for scoring, so unless I'm misunderstanding it, I would expect entries that start with the entered sequence be scored higher.

Nvim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.11.1

Vim (not Nvim) behaves the same?
