I'm surprised to hear that it works.  IIRC the code will try to
complete " b" rather than "b" if you type `a , SPC b TAB`, so unless
your completion table is happy with spurious leading spaces I think you
won't like the result.

But maybe it's been improved.  This is based on a vague recollection
from many years ago.
