Why should explicit #'-quoting be needed for (declare (completion foo))
when it's not needed for any other declare form property, including the
new and related 'modes' property:

  (declare (modes foo))
  (declare (gv-setter foo))
  (declare (gv-expander foo))
  (declare (obsolete foo ...))
  (declare (interactive-only foo))
  (declare (compiler-macro foo))
  (declare (indent foo))

How is (declare (completion ...)) any different to these?

Does the proposed patch stop that from happening?
