Apologies for not following this thread more closely.
I thought this was about (connected to) the proposal
to make the global minibuffer variables, such as
`minibuffer-completion-table' buffer-local to the
minibuffer buffer.

No, I haven't tried Eglot.  And it's quite likely that
Icicles doesn't work with it.  I don't really have much
time for maintaining stuff, let alone time to experiment.
Sorry.

I don't claim that Icicles is at all typical wrt how it
uses the minibuffer completion table (or other things).
Not at all.  More and more things change in Emacs, so
that my code works less and less.  I used to find the
time and the will to try to keep afloat.  I no longer do.
