Indeed, the code has to be backwards-compatible to some not-too-distant 
past.

This, literally? Doesn't seem to work here. Steps to reproduce:

1. Start ‘emacs -Q’

2. In ‘*scratch*’ buffer eval

   (defun foo ()
     (declare (modes dired-mode))
     (interactive)
     (message "foo"))

3. Type ‘M-x fo TAB’ and notice that ‘foo’ gets listed among all other 
completion candidates.

4. The ‘eww’ example from you blog doesn't seem to work for me either. 
Before loading ‘eww.el’, only autoloaded functions are listed, and after 
loading the command ‘M-x eww TAB’ lists all sorts of different commands 
while in ‘*scratch*’.

Did I miss anything? Any special completion config needed?

Cheers,
