I don't understand the question: register where?  return a string in
which case?

AFAIK those frameworks probably don't handle well completion tables
which use completion-boundaries, so I'd lean towards saying it's a bug
or a known limitation of those frameworks.  But I haven't looked at them
in a long while, so maybe this isn't true any more.
