This issue is fixed, thanks.

Command line completion is broken in :invert mode. It only works if the
built in symbols are written in upper case. But you can't write the
built in symbols using upper case because they will be translated to
lower case and then will not match:

[1]> (write
write                write-char           write-integer       
write-string
write-byte           write-char-sequence  write-line          
write-to-string
write-byte-sequence  write-float          write-sequence       
[1]> (write "hello")
"hello"
"hello"
[2]> (setf (readtable-case *readtable*) :invert)
:invert
[3]> (WRITE
WRITE                WRITE-CHAR           WRITE-INTEGER       
WRITE-STRING
WRITE-BYTE           WRITE-CHAR-SEQUENCE  WRITE-LINE          
WRITE-TO-STRING
WRITE-BYTE-SEQUENCE  WRITE-FLOAT          WRITE-SEQUENCE       
[3]> (WRITE "hello")

*** - eval: the function WRITE is undefined

No problem, you're doing all the work ;-)
