Evaluate the following form
(let ((completion-ignore-case t))
(completing-read "Give me ABC: "
obarray
(lambda (symbol)
(message "Symbol: %s" symbol)
(member (symbol-name symbol) (list "abc"))
)
t
))
and in the minibuffer enter
ABC [return]
You a get a [No match]. That's fine. Leave with C-g.
Next evaluate
(put 'abc 'some-prop nil)
[which puts 'abc into `obarray'] and repeat the first procedure. The
result will be
==> "ABC"
I guess that is incorrect, the result should be "abc".
Further evaluate
(put 'ABC 'some-prop nil)
[which puts 'ABC into `obarray'] and repeat the first procedure. The
result will be
==> "abc"
This seems correct to me. Anyway, there is an obvious inconsistency
in the last two results.
