Argh, can somebody *pretty please* submit a pull to fix the docs? It's
things like this that turns newbies away ("What's this? The docs
contradict each other! I don't understand this language! Hmm let's look
at the next language on the list").

I would do it myself, except that after reading Kenji's notes on #10803
I'm no longer so sure I understand it myself. :-/
