I hardly use it.
My only use is this one: in org-mode, when trying to refile a headline
under another one, `minibuffer-completion' offers a list displaying all
headlines, with a slash to indicate the hierarchy:
Headline with a title
Headline/Subheadline1
Headline/Subheadline2
Headline/Subheadline3
Headline2/Subheadline2.1
Headline2/Subheadline2.2
Headline2/Subheadline2.3
TAB after Headline will always offer the complete list, whereas SPC
will jump to the heading "Heading with a title".
