The completion treats the dashes as a kind of template, and completes
individual words in the template as much as possible before moving to
the first ambiguous point. I like the behavior, but yeah, it's a bit
lossy for MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND (one of the most frequently used
unwieldy symbols).

(BTW, I had the name of the other symbol wrong, it's MULTIPLE-VALUES-LIMIT.)
