In (emacs) Icomplete, it is said about fido-mode that “Another
noteworthy aspect is that ‘flex’ is used as the default completion style
(*note Completion Styles::).”

In (emacs) Completion Styles, ‘flex’ is not mentioned at all. It seems 
to be only mentioned in the manual in the following pages:
- (emacs) Icomplete
- (emacs) Antinews
