Which means it Just Worked.
I did not realize this was called "smart completion". Now I completely understand the connection with Microsoft Word where the very first required is to immediately disable all the so-called "smart" features ("smart" quotes, "smart" initials, "smart" selection,...) in order to be allowed to type anything unusual that Microsoft did not expect.
