Thanks to you and the other poster who pointed this out. I did
look this up, but in the Reference Manual, which discussed it
in more confusing terms, and my experiment with it didn't work.
It is much more clear in the regular doc string, which I should
have checked first, and it seems it was an error in my experiment
that kept it from working.
