IOW, instead of unconditionally returning arg, we now sometimes (when arg is not already a string and when index is not last) return the textual representation of that argument (what the user typed in) with the value of arg attached to it.I don't understand the `last` condition.Could you explain it (e.g. with a concrete example that breaks if you don't include it)?
Yes: when index is 'last' returning a non-string (more precisely: a list of strings) is allowed (and in fact expected, at least by Eshell). A recipe, in the Emacs repository:
M-x eshell cd lisp ls *.el TAB (Note that there is no SPC before TAB.)Without the 'last' condition, you don't get what you're supposed to get at that point (and what you got with Emacs 27 or 28), namely the list of .el files in *Completions*. Instead you see "Complete, but not unique", and you have to press TAB a second time to see the completions.
