+/// Selects an item in the completion popupmenu
+///
+/// When insert completion is not active, this API call is silently ignored.
+/// It is mostly useful for an external UI using |ui-popupmenu| for instance
+/// to control the popupmenu with the mouse. But it can also be used in an
+/// insert mode mapping, use <cmd> mapping |:map-cmd| to ensure the mapping
+/// doesn't end completion mode.
+///
+/// @param item   Index of the item to select, starting with zero. Pass in "-1"
+///               to select no item (restore original text).
+/// @param insert Whether the selection should be inserted in the buffer.
+/// @param finish If true, completion will be finished with this item, and the
+///               popupmenu dissmissed. Implies `insert`.
