"w" was also in the table.
This change
revision 1.237
date: 2002-04-09 19:28:42 +0000; author: monnier; state: Exp; lines: +89 -47 [...]
(Ftry_completion): Allow lambda forms and lists of strings for
`alist'.
Short-circuit the search as soon as it "failed". [...]
added this piece of code (approximately)
if (matchsize <= SCHARS (string)
&& matchcount > 1)
/* No need to look any further. */
break;
When completion-ignore-case is t this doesn't necessarily find the
best match _including case_ (AFAICS).
