No. =A0No relation. =A0(Helm replaced Anything.)

>From the Commentary of completion.el:

-----------8<----------

After you type a few characters, pressing the "complete" key
inserts the rest of the word you are likely to type.

This watches all the words that you type and remembers them.
When typing a new word, pressing "complete" (meta-return)
"completes" the word by inserting the most recently used
word that begins with the same characters. =A0If you press
meta-return repeatedly, it cycles through all the words it
knows about.

If you like the completion then just continue typing, it is
as if you entered the text by hand. =A0If you want the
inserted extra characters to go away, type control-w or
delete. =A0More options are described below.

The guesses are made in the order of the most
recently "used". =A0Typing in a word and then typing a
separator character (such as a space) "uses" the word. =A0So
does moving a cursor over the word. =A0If no words are found,
it uses an extended version of the dabbrev style completion.

You automatically save the completions you use to a file
between sessions.

Completion enables programmers to enter longer, more
descriptive variable names while typing fewer keystrokes
than they normally would.
