(But it could easily crop up in other places, using lists of symbols for completion appears to be natural). Could you fix the doc strings, and the manual, to explain that a list of symbols needs "" at the front in order to be valid as a completion table? But what about the other problem I mentioned. Should `test-completion' not one way or the other be made consistent with `try-completion' and `all-completions'. Kim adapted the latter two to handle symbols in alists and hash tables, but not test-completion. Thereby, the former symmetry between the three is gone. I agree, test-completion should be fixed. Would you like to fix that?
