 Maybe you're right. I tried to locate it in the manual some time ago and 
 couldn't find it either, after it had been discussed on the mailing lists 
 for the umpteenth time. It's documented in the mailing list archives, but 
 that is not a very good place...

 That's why I didn't close the report.
