Yup. Because among the various completion cases, the case for "files"
used to return a list and now returns a function. Both are valid
completion tables. Any caller of pcomplete-completions should expect to
receive a completion table and not just a list of strings. It may very
well receive a list of strings (which is one kind of completion table),
but it may just as well receive something else.
