The original reason for the 'nreverse' seems to have been for cycling
using 's RET s RET...' ala ERC (bug#22244) - that won't, obviously, work
with this put in - but the 'right' way to allow doing that would be by
giving it a more specific 'category' (describe-variable
'completion-extra-properties), isn't it?

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
And, in that case, why not get rid of the cl- as well?
