In a new lisp file type:

(defpackage :slime-fuzzy-misfeature (:use :cl)) (in-package :slime-fuzzy-misfeature)

(defun f () (let ((pos 4) (siz 2)) (+ pos siz)))

(defstruct pt h v)

(defun g (p) (let ((pos-h (pt-h p)) (pos-v (pt-v p))) (+ )))

C-x C-s C-c C-l

Then move after the + in g, and type po M-TAB We get these fuzzy completion choices:

For help on how the use this buffer, see `slime-fuzzy-completions-mode'.

Flags: boundp fboundp generic-function class macro special-operator package

Completion: Flags: Score: ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- pop -f---m-- 24.70 pos -------- 24.70 pos-h -------- 22.20 pos-v -------- 22.20 position -f------ 21.13 position-if -f------ 20.70 position-if-not -f------ 20.41 …

1- pop is bound to a function not a variable, we're completing a variable: it should not be proposed at all!

2- pos is not in scope it should not be proposed at all.

In general it looks like shorter symbols are proposed with higher scores. Instead, symbols in scope (taking account namespaces) should have higher scores. fuzzy-completion doesn't have any context-awareness and distinguishing between variables and functions is not easy. So, don't hold your breath waiting for this feature to be implemented.
