It fools people into believing there is a useful completion when there in fact is none. What use is for example symbol completion in css-mode, in php-mode etc? It is better to tell the truth. Bind it to there-is-no-completion-here (in a logic sense of course) in global map. Bind it to something useful in major modes.
