bug#16604: 24.3.50; False negatives in lisp-completion-at-point

I think it should wait.  I also think it should be configurable (I
definitely prefer the current behavior; in my use cases your behavior
makes the lisp--local-variables-completion-table pretty much useless
because there's almost always some other global variable that starts
with a similar prefix).

Hmm... I think so, yes.
