"w" was also in the table.

This change

  revision 1.237
  date: 2002-04-09 19:28:42 +0000;  author: monnier;  state: Exp; lines: +89 
-47 [...]
  (Ftry_completion): Allow lambda forms and lists of strings for
  `alist'.
  Short-circuit the search as soon as it "failed". [...]

added this piece of code (approximately)

  if (matchsize <= SCHARS (string)
      && matchcount > 1)
    /* No need to look any further.  */
    break;

When completion-ignore-case is t this doesn't necessarily find the
best match _including case_ (AFAICS).
