+When "popup" is in 'completeopt' a popup window is used to display the "info".
+Then the 'completepopup' option specifies the properties of the popup. The
+option is a comma separated list of values:
+ height maximum height of the popup
+ width maximum width of the popup
+ highlight highlight group of the popup (default is Pmenu)
+Example: >
+ :set completepopup=height:10,width:60,highlight:InfoPopup
The "kind" item uses a single letter to indicate the kind of completion. This
may be used to show the completion differently (different color or icon).
