I think we should do this in the minor-mode, as it's not very nice to run code at the top-level in general.

Might be more idiomatic for anything non-nil to enable it and for nil to disable it.

The problem is that people currently have this function in their configs, and it now accepts zero arguments. To reuse the same function, we need to make ARG optional, and it means it arrives as nil when people want to enable.

@bbatsov So is this OK to leave as is or is there a better solution?

I'm feeling lucky about enabling our custom
cider-completion-styleby default. We had some troubles with it in the past – it worked not according to how completion spec expected it, but now these issues are fixed as far as I can tell. The other reason why it took long to fix it is that this was optional and I don't think many users enabled it, so we didn't receive enough data about the bug we had.Anyway, I've been using this since forever and I'm confident now that this is a net positive feature to have on for everybody. I've modified
cider-enable-cider-completion-styleto acceptARG = -1to have a way for users to disable this if they don't want it (in the same way as they now enable it).
