Please omit the message only in case when the completions buffer is shown,
then the user will see there are more completions.  But after typing e.g.
`M-x man TAB` that otherwise does nothing the user should see the message.
IOW, in case of `completion-auto-help` please use the same condition
`(and (eq this-command last-command) completion-auto-help)` as used
to pop up the completions.
