I agree that checking for lambda is better -- it makes the ordinary cases work without hacks, so only in the case where lambda itself is in the list, special attention is needed. > > I agree, test-completion should be fixed.

It could break existing code if somebody already abuses assoc-string to find a string in a mixed list of strings and symbols. But I'd say it would be ok to change it as you suggest. -- Kim F.
