Oh.  

I've got no complaints about the way things work, I was just
going to suggest changing the documentation to correctly
describe the way things work. Too mundane a solution?

It seems a bit odd that we've known the documentation is wrong
for 6 years and nobody's bothered to fix it.  Or is the
documentation describing how we wish things would work
regardless of whether they work that way or not?
