The behavior will surely depend on exactly how you do the above. So,
could you give more details, such as which modes you're using and which
keys you pressed?

Sometimes, you can't get the whole data at once (e.g. completion of
a file-name would have to return all the files in all directories if it
had to be done "a once").
So, this is not an option. But we could provide a standard
completion-table constructor that provides caching.

Can you explain how "this causes problems"? What makes you think
it's related?
