You're right, the SO answer is simply wrong. I've posted a (hopefully clearer) answer. If anyone wants to check it for accuracy, that'd be great.

Agreed this can probably be closed as "not a bug". On first reading, I thought the docs could do with clarification, but now I think that was just because I had been confused by the SO posting :-)
