Message-ID: <E1HJGpG-0003eH-QM@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
This fails in a recent version; would someone please fix it?
If the symbols as alist keys are replaced with strings, it does
not fail. However, both cases are supposed to work.
So this is a bug.

Hello,
The following code exhibits a behavior of completing-read that I would call a
bug. Or am I missing something?
(let ((table '((foo . "you selected foo")
(foobar . "you selected foobar"))))
(completing-read "Symbol: " table nil 'require-match))
The unexpected behavior is that it is impossible to select `foo'.
Thanks,
John Foerch
