What is still missing IMO is a general description/documentation of the various parts of the completion mechanisms (completion-at-point, completion-in-region, pcomplete, pcomplete-completion-at-point, comint-completion-at-point, icomplete, ...) in Emacs behave and interact. I was completely lost when I started working on this bug, things are a bit clearer now, but still not very clear.I find it hard to write such things because I'm too familiar with it to know what's non-obvious. Maybe you could try writing something that you'd have found useful, and then we can collaboratively improve it?
Based on the time I already spent on this bug, I guess writing something like this will require a substantial amount of work, but if you are willing to help me, I'm willing to do that.
