Neither the function documentation strings (in Emacs version 18.58) nor
the Emacs Lisp manual entries (version 1.03) document the fact that as
implemented in minibuf.c, the second argument to try-completion and
all-completions may be a non-list function object (e.g. a symbol).  In
that case, the result of try-completion or all-completions is obtained
by calling that functional argument (ALIST) with 3 arguments: the
completion function's first argument STRING, its third argument PRED,
and nil.

No test is performed to insure that the second argument is actually a
functional object; it is called simply because it is neither a list nor
a vector.

In the documentation strings, the second argument is called ALIST; in
the lisp manual it is called ALIST-OR-OBARRAY.

In the documentation strings, the third argument is called PRED; in
the lisp manual it is called PREDICATE.
