[Question] How can I get metadata from completion-in-region

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Hi,
is is possible to get the metadata from the 'collection' value of
`completion-in-region' ?

Actually I get my completion list with `all-completions' in my
specialized `completion-in-region-function' but I have not
the additional info at end of string.

e.g I get "foo", but I would like to have "foo <f>"

I read minibuffer.el, but I couldn't find how to get this, or maybe I
missed something, any pointer welcome.

See:
https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/407

Thanks.

Ok I finally found how to get this, sorry for the noise.

If somebody have the same problem, this info can be get with a closure
which is provided by completion-in-region in
`completion-extra-properties':

(plist-get completion-extra-properties :annotation-function)

Read `completion-at-point' instead of `completion-in-region' sorry.
