Fine, can we ask an actual user of this feature whether they think this
is a bug or not?  Would that convince you that there's a bug here?  Or

Again, this behavior directly contradicts the docstring, and only
vaguely is allowed by the docstring of a random internal function that
you presumably had to read the source to find.
