   Certainly...I was only trying to put this into perspective - if we have a
serious bug that needs to be acted on immediately, or if we have a "someday
maybe" bug that doesn't affect anyone right now and can be fixed at some point
in the future (measured in months or years :-)). I actually intended to
acknowledge that it was a bug and should be fixed in the above, but I got
interrupted and sent the reply prematurely.

>Should I file a PR, so that it will be explicitly documented?

   Yes, that would be a good idea. It will be forgotten otherwise.
