Please also add a :version tag.

The doc string of the defcustom could also be improved.  I think the
first line should say

  Whether completion commands should display *Completions* buffer eagerly.

Also, the part about requesting the eager display via the
`eager-display' metadata should probably be expanded, because it's too
terse to be useful.  I would also suggest to explain what "eagerly"
means in this ciontext.

Thanks.
