In the docs, there is an example:

```auto
PUT music
{
    "mappings": {
        "song" : {
            "properties" : {
                "suggest" : {
                    "type" : "completion"
                },
                "title" : {
                    "type": "keyword"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

```auto
PUT music/song/1?refresh
{
    "suggest" : {
        "input": ["Nevermind", "Nirvana"],
        "weight" : 34
    }
}

```

Is it possible to skip this second step by having `input` put in the mapping as a path (e.g. to `title`)?  
What would that look like?
