bug#47652: 28.0.50; completion-at-point fails in verilog-mode

[Simon McFarlane]

M-x completion-at-point throws a failed assertion in

verilog-mode. After some digging I believe this is because

verilog-toggle-completions is missing a save-excursion somewhere. Sadly

I'm not a true Emacs guru so I couldn't figure out exactly where.


completion-in-region: Assertion failed: (<= start (point)), #<marker at 14 in 
*new*>, 12



This is reproducible with a very simple verilog file consisting of only

"module test();".



This is very similar to bug #41740 reported by Shinichi Sakata.
