> Yeah, we’ve come to an agreement on terminology but there is work to be done to fix up the documentation to match. I’ve got a thread out here somewhere with a first pass at it. I’ve flagged this report to incorporate into the second pass. Whether that patch is ultimately deemed a back-patchable bug fix hasn’t been discussed though I’m mostly figuring it will be a v16 improvement only. I’m not pushing to get something out before the next minor release in any case.
Thanks. No rush, of course.
