 Before trying to find a function for a specific context, tt(_complete) 
 checks if the parameter `tt(compcontext)' is set.  If it is set to an
 array, the elements are taken to be the possible matches which will be
-completed using the tag `tt(values)' and the description `tt(value)'.

+as the possible completions and the values (if non-empty) are used as
+descriptions for the matches.  If `tt(compcontext)' is set to a string
+containing colons, it should be of

 var(tag) and var(descr) give the tag and description to use and the
 var(action) says what should be completed in one of the forms
 described for the tt(_arguments) utility function below.
