 If @var{collection} is an alist (@pxref{Association Lists}), the
 permissible completions are the elements of the alist that are either
 strings, symbols, or conses whose @sc{car} is a string or symbol.
-Symbols are converted to strings using @code{symbol-name}.
-Other elements of the alist are ignored. (Remember that in Emacs Lisp,
