Hello,

for example:

(completing-read
 "Input: "
 (letrec ((table (lazy-completion-table
                  table (lambda () (let ((cands '("1" "2")))
                                (lambda (string pred action)
                                  (if (eq action 'metadata)
                                      `(metadata
                                        (annotation-function . ,(lambda (_) " ---")))
                                    (complete-with-action
                                     action cands string pred))))))))
   table))


No annotations.

AFAICT this happens because lazy-completion-table is based on
completion-table-dynamic whose current implementation always returns
tables returning nil metadata.

There are workarounds, but it would be nicer if it just worked that
way...when the candidates are computed dynamically, an
annotation-function will ideally be computed along with them.


TIA,

Michael.

When trying to evaluate this, I get an error after hitting TAB at the prompt:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable table)
  (functionp table)
  (if (functionp table) (progn (setq table (funcall (function (lambda
nil (let (...) (function ...))))))))
[...]

Sorry, forgot to mention: you need to evaluate with lexical-binding
non-nil.
