This fixes a problem in the inspector where I'd hit M-. on the method name, then have to choose the method even though the method specializers were right there.
Also, the previous patch is for keyword symbol completion. I'm not sure if my first (incorrect) patch was posted to the list or blocked. It it arrives, ignore it.
