I know and I hate such code: fix the compiler, or live with the warning,
but don't botch your code to work around the "problem".

I know.  But AFAIK, the code you suggest wouldn't make any difference in
this respect.  At least setting partial-completion-mode currently
doesn't make any difference in this respect.

Would it?  If so, why isn't it when partial-completion-mode is set to
t in Emacs-23.1?
