+This is used by the completion function generating parameter names as
+matches.  Its values are names of parameters which might not yet be
+set, but which should be completed nonetheless.  Each name may also be 
+followed by a colon and a string specifying the type of the parameter
+(like `tt(scalar)', `tt(array)' or `tt(integer)').  If such a type is
+given, the name will only be completed if parameters of that type are
+requested in the particular context.  Names for which no type is
