Thanks for the patch, now pushed.

`completion-table-with-metadata' is a very useful function.
I already used it for the new command 'comint-complete-input-ring'
in bug#74694.

Also it could be used in `read-char-by-name' as well.

Maybe `completion-table-with-metadata' should be announced
in the "Lisp Changes" section of etc/NEWS?
