Sorry, I don't follow. This is in the section whose headline is
"Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.1", right? And
each item in that section names a mode or a package, right? So what's
wrong with having a headline there which says "Completion List Mode"?
it's a mode, right?
Or what am I missing?
