Users are not supposed to use "internal" functions directly? Nonsense. Besides which, "use" is meaningless here. Completing a name doesn't imply calling the name as a function or evaluating it as a variable. And there is nothing wrong with doing either of things, anyway. Would you also forbid `mapatoms' from using (acting on) "internal" names? "Minibuffer completions" means multiple things, anyway. Anyone can use `completing-read' or any other minibuffer completion function in a way that does not complete "internal" names, if they want to.
