There's a misunderstanding: AFAIK the patch sent by Tassilo does not
make the completion-at-point-function return a "function that performs
completion" but does properly return completion data (i.e. region start,
region end, and completion table), part of which happens to be
represented by a function.
I.e. this is not one of the discouraged cases.

AFAIK that's already the case, tho it depends on lots of factors, such
as what you mean by "completing code".
