bug#5604: 23.1; Two problems in emacs23

[anakreon]

Hello. I encountered two problems when moving from emacs22 to emacs23.
The first one concernes the js2 javascript mode distributed from:
http://code.google.com/p/js2-mode
If the mode is enabled, the following is printed from the debuger:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "`c-lang-defconst' must be used in a file"\
)
  signal(error ("`c-lang-defconst' must be used in a file"))
  error("`c-lang-defconst' must be used in a file")
  c-define-lang-constant(c-mode-menu ((t cons ["Comment Out Region" comment-reg\
ion ...]4(cons ["Uncomment Region" ... ...] ...))))
=c7=c6!\204  require(cc-langs)
  byte-code("=c2=c3!\210=c2=c4!\210=c2=c5                                             

Perhaps the problem is in js2 and not in emacs. Note however that the
mode was functioning fine for emacs22.

The second problem is caused from option:
(highlight-completion-mode t nil (highlight-completion)) 
C-x C-f failes with message                                         
hc-expand-file-name: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I rather liked this feature. I hope the problem is resolved.

OK, but in future please make a separate report for each issue when
you have more than one.

This is already fixed. Try the trunk from

http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/

or the 23.2 pretest from

http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.1.92.tar.gz

Details are lacking, but this appears to be a problem with "highlight
completion" from http://www.math.washington.edu/~palmieri/Emacs/hlc.html.
Since this isn't part of Emacs, please explain exactly how to
reproduce the error, starting from `emacs -Q'.

If you still see the problem with the latest Emacs release, 23.3,
please reply with the requested information and it can be reopened if needed.
