Well, it did say
Toggle dynamic word-completion on or off.
And that "word-completion" part is not really boilerplate. But yes,
the doc string was clearly insufficient; I've fixed that now on the

You can find the full documentation of this mode in the commentary at
the beginning of completion.el.

After turning the mode ON, type at least 3 characters of some symbol
and press M-RET, perhaps several times. You will see the mode in
action.
