(completion-substring-try-completion
"foo" '("bar-foo" "baz-foo") nil 2)
=> ("ba-foo" . 6)
I would expect this to return ("ba-foo" . 2) .

Now it returns ("-foo" . 4).
Is this progress?
I don't know, because the function is undocumented
(I guess I have to look it up in completion-styles-alist?).

That was a while ago, but in my understanding the function should
return a partial substring completion (matching *ba*-foo* in this case)
and the index of the ambiguous part.

I think this is the correct answer, yes.

No, completion styles should not presume that they are used in
conjunction with some other style. "completion-*-try-completion" should
return a string which matches (using the same style) the same set
of elements.
