Re: Ordering of command completions

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

And this wouldn't necessarily be just about `M-x'.  Once in a while a
user executes a command that's meant for a totally different mode, and
then all the text disappears from the buffer and the user is sad.  If
the user manages to type `M-x message-send-and-exit' without TAB
completion, Emacs could then say "This command is for message-mode, and
this is a text-mode buffer.  Really execute?" or something.

I remember some bug reports along those lines over the years...
