Okay.

I see that magick-options uses a preference; that's probably where I
got that idea.  I guess that will also change in time.  Actually, if
I'd paid more attention to that example, it would have been easier for
me to write the gitweb completer.  BTW, thanks for updating it, which
I missed, for $alternative.

Yes, that sounds like a good plan.

I meant that gitweb-webjump-get-repository-list is a user command that
prompts for the name of a webjump (with completion on gitweb webjumps
only) and fetches the corresponding opml.  The user would call this
after having enabled the gitweb webjump.  For the completion to work
on the webjump name, the gitweb webjumps would need to be marked, and
a gitweb_opml_file property would be a natural way to do that.
