This has been changed to:

---
;; This used to say:
;; "When not inside a field, move to the previous button or field."
;; but AFAICS, it has always just thrown an error.
(defun widget-complete ()
  "Complete content of editable field from point.
When not inside a field, signal an error."
---

But I think you're right, anyway.  This is only bound to a keystroke on
widget fields (as far as I can tell), so it seems unnecessary to say
anything about what happens if you call the function from somewhere
else.

Opinions?
