As I said in the mail I just sent, the insert-all-completions is
(still) a bit hackish, mostly I wasn't that sure about it myself and
because we got no reactions when it was added.
That suffix-on-the-last-match behaviour comes from the way it is
implemented, which is basically what a completion with accept-and-m-c
for all matches does. I didn't treat suffixes specially because 1) that
would have required extra code (not much), 2) I wasn't sure what would
be preferred and 3) due to the auto-remove behaviour of all well-behaved
suffixes this didn't look like a big problem.
I could be convinced to change it: what do others think/prefer?

Bart already explained this. The special casing of completion widgets
you suggest... Hm. This /seems/ to make sense, except for the
then-difference between standard completion widgets (that have their
usual meaning in menu selection and don't leave at all) and
user-implemented widgets (where `user-implemented' would mean `added
without notification by compinit' for most users).
I wished there were a way to tell menu-selection which widget should
leave the match inserted and which shouldn't. But I can't think of a
clean way to do that.
Bye
Sven
