Subject: bug#13609: 24.2.92; completion-list-insert-choice-function
Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2013 10:24:57 -0600

The default value of completion-list-insert-choice-function
is completion--replace.  The `--' in the name of completion--replace
suggests to me that this is an internal function other code
should not rely on.  Yet isn't it a common scenario to bind
completion-list-insert-choice-function to a function which
calls completion--replace, plus it does something else?
(This is what bbdb-complete-mail does in BBDB v3.)

So I suggest to rename completion--replace to completion-replace
to make it clear that other code may use this function.
(Or solve this problem in some other way that other code may rely upon.)
