+1 to all that Juri said here.
I believe that Jean is talking about some kind of dynamic,
incremental filtering. Vanilla Emacs has such a thing for
incremental search (which is maybe what inspired Jean's use
of that term) and for Ido and Icomplete. In none of those
cases does the filtering affect/use *Completions*.
And I think that what Jean is maybe talking about is
something general, which could be applied in multiple
contexts - completion, but not just completion.
