/**
 * GCompletion provides support for automatic completion of a string
 * using any group of target strings. It is typically used for file
 * name completion as is common in many UNIX shells.
 *
 * A GCompletion is created using g_completion_new(). Target items are
 * added and removed with g_completion_add_items(),
 * g_completion_remove_items() and g_completion_clear_items(). A
 * completion attempt is requested with g_completion_complete() or
 * g_completion_complete_utf8(). When no longer needed, the
 * GCompletion is freed with g_completion_free().
 *
 * Items in the completion can be simple strings (e.g. filenames), or
 * pointers to arbitrary data structures. If data structures are used
 * you must provide a GCompletionFunc in g_completion_new(), which
 * retrieves the item's string from the data structure. You can change
 * the way in which strings are compared by setting a different
 * GCompletionStrncmpFunc in g_completion_set_compare().
 *
 * GCompletion has been marked as deprecated, since this API is rarely
 * used and not very actively maintained.
