Not particularly, I think...
To be honest, I've never found `minibuffer-complete-word' useful in _any_
circumstance (I always use the "full complete", `minibuffer-complete';
indeed that's what I personally have minibuffer SPC bound to) -- but I
figured everybody else liked it.
BTW, the binding I use for SPC is not actually `minibuffer-complete', but
something called `minibuffer-complete-or-space', which does this:
Complete the minibuffer contents as far as possible, or insert a space.
Return nil if there is no valid completion, else t.
If it's possible to insert a space, but there are other completions that
don't include it, the space will only be inserted if an up-to-date
completion help buffer has been displayed, otherwise one will be shown;
thus a space can be inserted in this case by executing this command
twice in a row. Otherwise, this command acts like
`minibuffer-complete'.
