>> 1. Initial completions are added to `M-n' automatically,
>>    instead of just by a user adding them explicitly to
>>    DEFAULTS.
>>
>> 2. Given that BUG, _IF_ it won't be fixed, then the doc
>>    should at least make users aware of it and mention
>>    how to work around it.
>>
>> Fixing #1 is preferable.  Fixing #2 is minimal damage
>> control, IF you won't fix #1.
>
> #1 can be fixed only partially for some popular obarray completions.
> So here is a patch that fixes #1 partially and #2 completely.

Now pushed to master, and closed.
