Why does help-with-tutorial, when invoked with a prefix argument,
preemptively pop up the *Completions* buffer?  This seems to diverge
from most uses of completing-read I've seen, which defer popping up the
*Completions* buffer until the user invokes minibuffer-complete or
similar.  What's more, I noticed this behaviour due to a custom
completing-read-function I use which forgoes using the *Completions*
buffer, so I find the current default a little intrusive.

If it is not crucial for the *Completions* buffer to be displayed
immediately, could this minibuffer setup be removed?
