2. nil is the default value. Why do we _not_ recompute the list of
completions systematically?
As I pointed out yesterday, that seems to be what actually happens
with the current code. (Unless I am misunderstanding something.)
`dabbrev-completion' contains an `if' whose long and complex condition
always returns nil. Hence, the else part of the `if' is _always_
executed, meaning that the list is _always_ recomputed.
Of course, if we believe that the actual behavior is OK, we should
simplify the `dabbrev-completion' code and get rid of the `if'.
The incorrect last paragraph of the docstring should then, of course,
be removed.
Sincerely,
Luc.
