after updating vim to 8.3.3132, getting seven error messages (E1208)

[Charles Campbell]

Hello:

Error detected while processing /home/cec/.vim/plugin/AsNeededPlugin.vim:
line   61: E1208: -complete used without -nargsline

I certainly didn't get these before, nor do I know what -nargsline is.
The relevant line:

com! -nargs=0 -complete=command MakeANtags    call AsNeeded#MakeANtags()

OK, so what's -nargsline ?  :he nargsline shows nothing. Doing a grep
nargsline  over the entire .vim/doc directory's *.txt files shows: nothing.

The error message is "E1208: -complete used without -nargs".
Not sure why "line" got appended there.

This was a change where we knew that some badly written plugins would
get this error message. While otherwise users are pointed out that
their "-complete" argument won't work because there is nothing to
complete. This only happens in Vim9 scripts.

Perhaps the error message is confusing, because there is a -nargs
argument, but it's zero? We could mention "arguments" instead of
"-nargs".

I suggest you remove that "-complete" argument and perhaps let the
author of the plugin know about it.

I suppose that it's this plugin
https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=915
which is created by Charles Campbell.
