That sentence is very confusing--you need to say it a different way. I use dynamic-completion-table to define the global initial values of buffer-local variables that contain completion lists. The idea is that if the user hits tab, FUN calculates the completion list and stores it in the buffer-local variables. Should this macro produce the code to do that? It might be more useful that way.
