Internal windows are no longer visible to Lisp; functions such as
@code{window-parent}, window parameters related to window arrangement,
and window-local buffer lists have all been removed. Functions for
-resizing windows can delete windows if when they become too small.

@code{completion-extra-properties} variable, the @code{metadata}
action flag for completion functions, and the concept of

of methods for tuning completion less bewildering, but if a package
finds the streamlined interface insufficient for its needs, it must
implement its own specialized completion feature.
The @var{cache} entry is used internally by Emacs to record equivalent
keyboard key sequences for invoking the same command; Lisp programs
should never use it.
