;;; Commentary:
-;; Loading this package implements a more fine-grained minibuffer
+;; Enabling this package implements a more fine-grained minibuffer
;; completion feedback scheme. Prospective completions are concisely
;; indicated within the minibuffer itself, with each successive
;; keystroke.
;; customize icomplete setup for interoperation with other
;; minibuffer-oriented packages.
-;; To activate icomplete mode, load the package and use the
-;; `icomplete-mode' function. You can subsequently deactivate it by
-;; invoking the function icomplete-mode with a negative prefix-arg
-;; (C-U -1 ESC-x icomplete-mode). Also, you can prevent activation of
-;; the mode during package load by first setting the variable
-;; `icomplete-mode' to nil. Icompletion can be enabled any time after
-;; the package is loaded by invoking icomplete-mode without a prefix
-;; arg.
+;; To enable/disable icomplete mode, use the `icomplete-mode' function.
;; Thanks to everyone for their suggestions for refinements of this
;; package. I particularly have to credit Michael Cook, who
