Several users complained that the patch has broken existing plugins.
That's a good reason to revert it.
The Insert mode completion is very complex. It's hard to say what the
right way is to do something. We need specific examples to find out
what is the best solution.
A complete function can be slow, thus we should only call it when
needed. In your specific case it's needed in a very unexpected way.
Adding a character is expected to reduce the number of matches. You
wrote:
* Complete "a" to "foo1", "foo2" and "foo3".
* Complete "ab" to "bar1", "bar2" and "bar3".
That's not logical, thus it is no surprise this is not the default
behavior. Perhaps the complete function should somehow indicate that it
must be called whenever the leader changes.
