The alist variable is documented in the ELisp manual, since it is not
of interest to users.  I added a cross-reference to there.

The text already says quite a lot about that (it is not clear to me
whether you reviewed the latest text, since you don't tell, and the
Emacs version from which you reported this is quite old).  If you have
specific suggestions for more detailed descriptions, please present
them.  Otherwise I see no candidates for picking up the gauntlet, and
we should just close this bug report, because people who work the most
on completion are generally reluctant to document more of their work
in terms that would be understandable by users.
