Comment (by mpickering):

 But that is not the problem.

 This warning comes from the built-in constructor set. I think there needs
 to be some more clever augmentation to the intermediate result  in the
 case that a result of `allCompleteMatches` does not contain the
 constructor which was used to do the lookup. For example, if
 `ToGoodToBeTrue` is not in `T, F`.
