Yes, the "normal mode of operation".

,----[ C-h v completion-styles RET ]
| completion-styles is a variable defined in `minibuffer.el'.
| Its value is 
| (partial-completion)

| List of completion styles to use.

It defaults to (basic partial-completion).  I removed the basic
completion, because I didn't figure out how to trigger partial
completion then?  I think the docstring should mention that somehow.

,----[ C-h v completion-styles-alist RET ]
| completion-styles-alist is a variable defined in `minibuffer.el'.

| Documentation:
| List of available completion styles.
| Each element has the form (NAME TRY-COMPLETION ALL-COMPLETIONS)

| TRY-COMPLETION is the function that does the completion, and
| ALL-COMPLETIONS is the function that lists the completions.
