There is already a workaround:
https://github.com/paradigm/SkyBison/blob/eda32bb644fd0651679121dca11e41088dafc94b/plugin/skybison.vim#L141-L152
. Why do we need :redir? If a function for capturing completions is added :redir support becomes more pointless then now when workaround exists.
I would really like a function anywhere I have to use :redir now and purge out :redir from my and others' people code: parsing back data that was structured and could be output as a complex structure instead of text by some function is already bad. But with "no nested redirections" rule you never know when you will have a problem with :redir and encouraging people to use it by adding support for this is just bad.
Completion scripts may and some in fact *will* use :redir: I see no other way to get the list of functions and thus had to use this workaround. Using :redir to capture completion variants may result in these functions being broken and *will* result in the outer function requesting completion variants being broken.
