Can you give an example of a use case where you would want to _set_ the value
as a fraction yet still want an explicit value and max?
Regarding the name:
I don't agree that percentage is better than position, nor that completion is.
It's not a percentage if it's not out of a 100 (which it isn't, it's a fraction
0..1). The progress bar is not a percentage; almost always the max will be some
number other than 100, e.g. in a file transfer it would be the file size, in a
long calculation it would be the number of steps, etc.
The term "position" is the right term of art here; see e.g. reference [2] in
comment 2 which refers to the position of the progress bar in the
documentation.
