+I find that ~try-expand-line~ completions often appear when I actually want a
 dabbrev completion, so let's deprioritise it somewhat. If I actually want to try
 for a line expansion, it's fairly easy to deliberately trigger it --- just
 invoke ~hippie-expand~ after typing a space and there will be no dabbrev
 candidates.
 
+Speaking of dabbrev, I do think of hippie-expand mostly as "a stangely named
+dabbrev+", so let's prioritise the dabbrev-related expanders a bit. I'll also
+toss in a nice non-default expansion generator as the first dabbrev candidate
+function: ~try-expand-dabbrev-visible~.
+
+There's another cool source of multi-word expansion (actually multi-line) that
+isn't used by default, ~try-expand-dabbrev-from-kill~. I personally think this one
+is quite neat, but don't want it to interfere with more common single-word
+completions, and so will place it just above ~try-expand-line~.

+Unfortunately there's one aspect of ~try-expand-dabbrev-from-kill~ that I find
+lets me down a bit, which is that it fails to complete when the killed text

+something about this in the future.

 I'd much rather have my new buffers in ~org-mode~ than ~fundamental-mode~, hence
