Bug:                        doesn't work as currently documented.
Undocumented functionality: undocumented but works anyway.
Feature:                    undocumented and doesn't work.

For completeness:
Miracle:                    working as currently documented.

All of the above must be viewed from the context of the *current*
content of the prospective release, *not* from the context of the
release after addition of the feature.
