Note that the divergence condition of $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ in Eq.~\eqref{eq:def_weebasis} ensures that one-electron systems are free of correction as the present approach must only correct the basis-set incompleteness error originating from the e-e cusp.
As already discussed in Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}, $\W{}{\Bas}(\br{1},\br{2})$ is symmetric, \textit{a priori} non translational, nor rotational invariant if $\Bas$ does not have such symmetries.
Thanks to its definition one can show that (see Appendix B of Ref.~\onlinecite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18})

The short-range LDA correlation functional relies on the transferability of the physics of the UEG which is certainly valid for large $\mu$ but is known to over correlate for small $\mu$.

The difference between the ECMD functional defined in Ref.~\onlinecite{FerGinTou-JCP-18} and the present expression \eqref{eq:epsilon_cmdpbe}-\eqref{eq:beta_cmdpbe} is that we approximate here the on-top pair density by its UEG version, i.e.~\titou{$\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{}) \approx \n{2}{\UEG}(0,\n{}{}(\br{}),\zeta(\br{}))$, where $\n{2}{\UEG}(r_{12},\n{}{},\zeta) \approx 4 \n{\uparrow}{} \n{\downarrow}{} g(r_{12},n)$} with the parametrization of the UEG on-top pair-distribution function $g(0,n)$ given in Eq.~(46) of Ref.~\onlinecite{GorSav-PRA-06}.

This represents a major computational saving without loss of accuracy for weakly correlated systems as we eschew the computation of $\n{2}{\Bas}(\br{},\br{})$.
Depending on the functional choice, the complementary functional $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{\modZ}{\Bas}]$ is approximated by $\bE{\LDA}{\Bas}[\n{\modZ}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{\Bas}]$ or $\bE{\PBE}{\Bas}[\n{\modZ}{\Bas},\rsmu{}{\Bas}]$ where $\rsmu{}{\Bas}(\br{})$ is given by Eq.~\eqref{eq:mu_of_r}.
