#autoload
# This builds a display-list for the `-y' option of `compadd' and
# `compgen' out of the arguments it gets. The first argument is
# taken as the name of a parameter and the string built is stored
# into it.
# The second argument is the name of an array whose elements each
# contains a string to complete, optionally followed by a colon
# and a description. The display list created will contain one
# line per string with the description after it, all nicely
# aligned. Strings without descriptions are put at the end in a
# column-oriented fashion.
# All arguments after the second one are given as arguments to
# `compadd'.
# This function will also do the matching required to find out
# which strings will be included in the list. All elements that
# don't match will be removed from the array. This means that the
# special parameters `PREFI' and `SUFFIX' have to be set up
# correctly before this function is called.
