+TABLE can be a list of strings, an alist, an obarray or a hash table; their
+elements are tested to see if they begin with STRING.
+TABLE can also be a function to do the completion itself; it receives

+Whatever it returns becomes the value of `try-completion'.

 PREDICATE limits completion to a subset of TABLE.
 See `try-completion' and `all-completions' for more details

 If REQUIRE-MATCH is non-nil, the user is not allowed to exit unless
  the input is (or completes to) an element of TABLE or is null.
