 This describes the shell code for the new completion system.  It consists

+of various shell functions; those beginning `tt(comp)' are to be called
 directly by the user, while those beginning `tt(_)' are called by the
 completion code.  The shell functions of the second set which implement
 completion behaviour and which may be bound to keystrokes, are referred to
 as `widgets'.
 
+Note that with the function-based completions described here, it
+is also possible to use the `tt(compctl -M ...)' mechanism to specify
+global matching control, such as case-insensitivity (`tt(abc)' will complete
+to a string beginning `tt(ABC)'), or wildcard behaviour on
+certain anchors (`tt(a-d)' will complete to abc-def as if there were a
+`tt(*)' after the `a').  See
