Thanks. It will help in my packages as I have completion which I need
to be editable by user, such as header, footer specification and
inserting space require knowing how to use `C-q SPC', not a big deal,
but it will help in usability.
For completion I use TAB, instead of space. Space goes slow word by
word, but I did not find use for it yet.
