Completing unstuck form of email aliases doesn't quite work:

Woops. Is it possible to add a test for this case? I honestly don't
know how the tests for the completion works.
It's possible, but I'm not sure we should.
It's a common pattern throughout the completion script to call
__gitcomp() (or __gitcomp_nl()) this way, out of the almost 200
callsites many look like this one. We don't test all those, because
it would require a lot of tests for not that much gain in coverage
in my opinion. The interesting thing that's definitely worth testing
is what happens inside the command substitution that supplies the
possible completion words, but your tests added to the send-email
testsuite already cover that thoroughly.
