Indeed.

Then the code needs to be fixed not to succeed when point is somewhere
where that completion doesn't apply.

But that ad-hoc way to combine completions had many downsides (e.g. you
can't tell when to hide the *Completions* buffer, you can't provide
completion-help-at-point, and it interacts poorly with sophisticated
completion-styles).

Let's try to focus on this, then.
