I don't know. I have been saying stupid things recently. Lack of sleep
is probably the reason, but I like to think that somehow my org version is
messed up.
org-icompleting-read is a compiled Lisp function in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/
(org-icompleting-read &rest ARGS)
Completing-read using ‘ido-mode’ or ‘iswitchb’ speedups if available.
A lot of older org functions have terrible documentation. I had to study
the code, several calls of org-icompleting-read, and completion-read to
understand what it was doing.
