Documentation

List of category-specific user overrides for completion styles.

Each override has the shape (CATEGORY . ALIST) where ALIST is an association list that can specify properties such as:
- styles: the list of completion-styles to use for that category.
- cycle: the completion-cycle-threshold to use for that category.
Categories are symbols such as buffer and file, used when completing buffer and file names, respectively. This overrides the defaults specified in completion-category-defaults.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 25.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.1.
