Because the views can't merge that, then again, we need to merge them on our 
own, which is tricky, as for example you want different delegates for 
different models and so on. The question is, where is the benefit of 
multiple. for KDevelop for example they will have no benefit in having our 
wordcompletions merged into their list, they would rather not want this.
