Resending, since I got an invalid address error for emacs-pretest-bug the first time.
Drew Adams wrote: IIUC, a nil ARG means to search only the current buffer. I apparently did not read the docstring carefully enough. The first paragraph says exactly that. Perhaps this all hinges on the meaning of "if there is a suitable one already" - just what does that mean? I suspect that explaining what "suitable" means here, in user terms, would mean explaining that only the current buffer is to be searched. But I could be wrong. On reading through the source code, I am the one who is confused now. Whether the old list is suitable or not is determined by an `and' expression. But that `and' expression includes `dabbrev--last-abbreviation' and this happens after `dabbrev--reset-global-variables' got called which always sets `dabbrev--last-abbreviation' to nil. The way I understand it, the `and' expression _always_ returns nil and the old completion list is _never_ suitable. I must be misunderstanding something. I tried to CC the listed maintainer, but that apparently resulted in an invalid address error.
