helm-ag-insert-at-point has no effect on helm-projectile-ag

[rdgreen]

The documentation string for helm-projectile-set-input-automatically says:

"If non-nil, attempt to set search input automatically. Automatic input selection uses the region (if there is an active region), otherwise it uses the current symbol at point (if there is one). Applies to helm-projectile-grep' and helm-projectile-ack' only. If the helm-ag' package is installed, then automatic input behavior forhelm-projectile-ag' can be customized using `helm-ag-insert-at-point'."

But I have set helm-ag-insert-at-point to 'word, and the behaviour of helm-projectile-ag is unchanged - it starts with no input.

It was user error. I had set it to 'word using customize, so its value was something like '\'word.
