bug#58487: [PATCH] Allow filtering what items are added to Ecomplete

[Philip Kaludercic]

Tags: patch


I've had this as a customisation in my local .emacs file, implemented as
advice around ecomplete-add-item:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-advice ecomplete-add-item (:around (oldfun type key text))
  "Filter out common pseudo addresses from the database.
OLDFUN is `ecomplete-add-item', passed by `advice-add', that will
be invoked with TYPE, KEY and TEXT if KEY doesn't match a known
address I don't care about."
  (unless (string-match-p
           (rx (or (: "@noreply.github.com" eos)
                   (: "@reply.github.com" eos)
                   (: bos "notifications@github.com" eos)
                   (: "@debbugs.gnu.org" eos)))
           key)
    (funcall oldfun type key text)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Having this as a regular option seems preferable to me, so I'd like to
suggest it here.
