NEWS says

** New 'flex' completion style
An implementation of popular "flx/fuzzy/scatter" completion which
matches strings where the pattern appears as a subsequence.  Put
simply, makes "foo" complete to both "barfoo" and "frodo".  Add 'flex'
to 'completion-styles' or 'completion-category-overrides' to use it.

"flx" is a matching *and* scoring method. What is described on the NEWS
entry only impacts matching. Maybe the author made a typo and wanted to
write "flex/fuzzy/scatter" instead?
