That part could be cleared up (after someone >confirms that I'm right I guess), but the rest seems reasonably clear. >Was there something that you specifically wanted added to the >documentation? No, and I retract my PR on this topic. (I just didn't see the passage you quoted above. I only looked for info on the `log' option in the list of other options, e.g. `frag', `in', `out', etc. It wasn't there, so that's how I missed it. Sorry. My bad.)
