Subject: bug#52901: 26.3; (emacs) `Completion Styles': provide more guidance
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2021 17:25:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB548836D925563F3D34536BA7F3459@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In this node each predefined completion style is described. But these
two bits of guidance are missing - please consider adding them:
1. Mention `completion-styles-alist', as does the doc string of
`completion-styles'. (We do mention `completion-category-overrides',
at least.)
2. Say something about combinations of the styles. The completion
behavior depends on the combination that's the value of option
`completion-styles'.
It's not enough to describe each predefined style individually, and
say that they are tried in order. Please consider providing some
comparison of the predefined styles: which of them in some sense
include or subsume (or partially so) which others. Give users an
idea of which they don't need to include if they include this or that
other.
In general, a little more guidance for users, please.
