Re: Argument names in Elisp Reference vs docstrings

    [completions] doesn't quite fit for an alist, an obarray, or a
    hash table, or a function to test them.

Unfortunately, `collection' does best.  `completions' fails utterly.
Moreover, is not the focus on the whole group, not on its individual
elements, members, or items?

I agree, another word would be better, but `completions' is not it,
nor are any of the words that direct attention to components.
