What is the replacement for it? 

I need a way to prevent insertion of a space after a completion.

The completion table should say that the result is not the end of
the story.  Usually this happens because the `completion-boundaries' of
the text after completion is not the same as the one before
completion, IIRC.  We should definitely document this better.

So what is 'boundary' in the context of completion? I cannot find any
explanation.

The `completion-boundaries' indicate which part of the overall text is
described by `all-completions'.
For example, for normal files the boundaries are delimited by the
slashes, because when you have "/usr/sha", all-completions will list
neither "/usr/share/" nor "/usr/share/emacs" but only "share/".
