That was clearly pointed out in the docstring, but that is changed now. We can easily change it again so that it gets even pointed out even more clearly than before. Actually, I got confused there. It still is pointed out in the docstring, although there are reasons why we might want to change the exact wording. Sincerely, Luc.
