#10673 indicated that the issue should be resolved by clarifying the documentation. The proposed patch is intended to do this.

Hi Tom, thanks for the patch! Issue 10673 is still open, is there a reason not to attach your patch there?

I thought that, since Issue <10673> refers to the library rather than the docs, it was better to create a seperate documentation issue.  In other words, I probably overthought it.

Thanks for the explanation. We usually handle situations like this in the same issue so I'm closing this as a duplicate of issue 10673. Could you please attach your patch to issue 10673? Thanks!
