  "Toggle Partial Completion mode.
When Partial Completion mode is enabled, TAB (or M-TAB if `PC-meta-flag' is
nil) is enhanced so that if some string is divided into words and each word is
delimited by a character in `PC-word-delimiters', partial words are completed
as much as possible and `*' characters are treated likewise in file names.
You must modify via \\[customize] for this variable to have an effect."

When Partial Completion mode is enabled, TAB (or M-TAB if `PC-meta-flag' is
nil) is enhanced so that if some string is divided into words and each word is
delimited by a character in `PC-word-delimiters', partial words are completed
as much as possible.

For example, M-x p-c-b expands to M-x partial-completion-mode since no other
command begins with that sequence of characters, and
\\[find-file] f_b.c TAB might complete to foo_bar.c if that file existed and no
other file in that directory begin with that sequence of characters.

Unless `PC-disable-wildcards' is non-nil, the \"*\" wildcard is interpreted
specially when entering file or directory names.  For example,
\\[find-file] *.c RET finds each C file in the currenty directory, and
\\[find-file] */foo_bar.c TAB completes the directory name as far as possible.

Unless `PC-disable-includes' is non-nil, the \"<...>\" sequence is interpreted
specially in \\[find-file].  For example,
\\[find-file] <sys/time.h> RET finds the file /usr/include/sys/time.h.
