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 emacs-29 release branch. You can find the full documentation of this mode in the commentary at the beginning of completion.el. > But I cannot understand what the impact of the command is, or what > changes when minor-mode dynamic-completion-mode is turned on or off. 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.
