+ Set the matches for Insert mode completion.
+ Can only be used in Insert mode. You need to use a mapping
+ with an expression argument |:map-<expr>| or CTRL-R =
+ |i_CTRL-R|. It does not work after CTRL-O.
+ {startcol} is the byte offset in the line where the completed
+ text start. The text up to the cursor is the original text
+ that will be replaced by the matches. Use col('.') for an
+ empty string. "col('.') - 1" will replace one character by a
+ match.
+ {matches} must be a |List|. Each |List| item is one match.
+ See |complete-items| for the kind of items that are possible.
