  If @var{collection} is an alist (@pxref{Association Lists}), the
  permissible completions are the elements of the alist that are either
! strings or conses whose @sc{car} is a string.  Other elements of the
! alist are ignored. (Remember that in Emacs Lisp, the elements of
! alists do not @emph{have} to be conses.)  As all elements of the alist
! can be strings, this case actually includes lists of strings, even
! though we usually do not think of such lists as alists.
