Yes.  (Well, current at the time I sent the mail.)

} The patch also changes it to insert a tab only when TAB was pressed.

Thanks, but as I mentioned in my followup message, compstate[insert]
seems to have gotten `stuck' somehow, that is, once I'm in this state
it *always* begins with "tab " so nothing will complete anywhere.  Not
just inside vared, but after I exit vared and go on to the next PS1.

} About the missing _message: you have _oldlist in your completer style, 
} right? Did you try ^X? directly after the TAB?

Yes, I do have _oldlist, and probably I did try right after the tab.
