  Well,  I think  it is.  The behavior  is not  consistent  with other
  failed completions,  and debugger should  not be called on  it (with
  debug-on-error).

  If a message such  as this one has to be printed,  I think it should
  be, IMHO,  in bracket after the  text entered, like  [no match]. But
  sticking  to short  messages should  be  better, and  [no match]  is
  explicit enough.

  What  makes you  think an  error is  not so  bad, although  no other
  completion system triggers one?
