Truth be told, I don't know.  The original doc string was obviously
incomplete, so I completed it as best I understood the code during the
5 sec I could dedicate to this task.  Part of the reason for writing
the text I installed was to prompt "Someone" to help me get our act
together in this case.

Feel free to describe in more detail what the code does with this
argument (ideally, with pointers to the code), and then we can discuss
how to improve the doc string.

Thanks.
