Commit 4f3b38fe2 supposed that complete_from_const() is equivalent to the one-element-list case of complete_from_list(), but that's not really true at all. complete_from_const() supposes that the completion is certain enough to justify wiping out whatever the user typed, while complete_from_list() will only provide completions that match the word-so-far. In practice, given the lame parsing technology used by tab-complete.c, it's fairly hard to believe that we're *ever* certain enough about a completion to justify auto-correcting user input that doesn't match. Hence, remove the inappropriate unification of the two cases. As things now stand, complete_from_const() is used only for the situation where we have no matches and we need to keep readline from applying its default complete-with-file-names behavior. This (mis?) behavior actually exists much further back, but I'm hesitant to change it in released branches. It's not too late for v12, though, especially seeing that the aforesaid commit is new in v12. Per gripe from Ken Tanzer.
