OK, once I understand what are you referring to with the
"complete-in-turn thingy"...

OK, with respect to giving a warning (wrt completion I don't agree,
but I'll implement whatever is deemed best, of course).

Where is that implemented?

OK, makes sense.
If I understand correctly, you're OK'ing the `user-variable-p' patch
