Raymond, 
I initially set "easy" on this issue because I considered it a documentation issue, not the place to resolve the harder debate of the semantics of these functions. Perhaps I was wrong?

Also, I agree with Nick that the difference must be further clarified in "stronger words". If there's no debate on this issue, I will commit a fix after the freeze is over.
