   This setting should not be enabled if you wish to use ALE as a completion
   source for other completion plugins.
 
+  A buffer-local version of this setting `b:ale_completion_enabled` can be set
+  to `0` to disable ALE's automatic completion support for a single buffer.
+  ALE's completion support must be enabled globally to be enabled locally.
