I probably would never have figured out all of that. Kinda seems odd that we'd have created a variable for something that someone _might_ want to do (but probably never has done). Usually, when someone proposes something like that it gets rejected as fulfilling only a hypothetical need. Anyway, if the variable will stay then it would be great if the doc could be fixed a bit, based on some of what you said here.
