Note the difference in how the argument to the function is

----8<----

completion, instead of requoting it.
---->8----
That's not it. It's sort of bundled together with a note about other
quoting changes. I can add a separate item to CHANGES if you think it
would be worthwhile.
Of course, if the "new" behavior is intentional, I guess there will be
good reasons for it and apologize for the noise
Grisha, unsurprisingly, identified the original report from June, 2023 that
prompted the change.
