No, you're right.  I didn't catch that possibility, though it's
implicit in the documentation.  Partly because the docs tell you the
details of all the methods you can call, but not the big picture of
what they're good for--in other words, they're etic, not emic.

Thanks for holding up the big picture in front of me and
making me go "duh". :)
