I think it would be better to fix the code, but I don't have
time to do that myself.  For now, I will fix the doc strings
and the manual, which is easier.  If someone else wants to fix the
code, that is fine, but I think other things are more important.

Well, if we document the way it works now, then code will eventually
be written to rely on it (notably Stefan's original code which
triggered this can be simplified significantly using the current
behaviour).

So I suggest to keep [and be satisfied with] the current (now
documented) behaviour.
