Documentation

Treat the SPC or - inserted by minibuffer-complete-word as delimiters.

Those chars are treated as delimiters if this variable is non-nil. I.e. if non-nil, M-x SPC will just insert a "-" in the minibuffer, whereas if nil, it will list all possible commands in *Completions* because none of the commands start with a "-" or a SPC.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.1.
