Probably, I just kept the existing wording. Should you go over all the current
docs with the same fine-toothed comb you're applying here, you'd end up in a
hole from which you might never emerge. :-)

till after I sent in the patches and realized, hey, I guess I need to add some
documentation too... I know better for next time.
