It’s all fine, however...

I very much disagree with this due to 1. the test cases and 2. the
previous reply to Stefan where I tried to explain the shortcomings of
the current implementation of completion-pcm--hilit-commonality. Also,
could you point to the unnecessary consing? If anything, I believe my
patch is faster than the current implementation.

Making the `any' explicit was also the very first thing I suggested, but
further testing pointed to problems it doesn’t solve, which are indeed
parts of the tests that are failing. I can add more tests if you think
that would help.
Best regards,
Dario
