Sorry if you got that impression; I have no doubt that you understand
the feature (possibly better than me!)

Well, the question of which location points to which one is close to
bikeshedding, so I’ll just pull the “I did it” card here (until shouted
down by a larger crowd). But a mention in the user manual will not hurt:
Can you suggest a section? Then I’ll put in a small paragraph with an
reference to the haddocks.

Greetings,
Joachim
