Exactly. That's why it's messier than it first appears.
My point is -- people tend to think things like this are trivial 
features because they are not very powerful; and conversely, they think 
that powerful features must be complicated. But that's really 
misleading. 'pure', for example, is roughly the same level of 
implementation complexity as this feature.
