+** Enhanced visual feedback in *Completions* buffer.
+
+Completions lists use faces to highlight what all completions
+have in common and where they begin to differ.
+
+The common prefix shared by all possible completions uses the face
+`completions-common-part', while the first character that isn't the
+same uses the face `completions-first-difference'.  By default,
+`completions-common-part' inherits from `default', and
+`completions-first-difference' inherits from `bold'.  The idea of
+`completions-common-part' is that you can use it to make the common
+parts less visible than normal, so that the rest of the differing
+parts is, by contrast, slightly highlighted.
