(you mean chance?)
I'd prefer to have the code updated so the current doc is correct.
However, if updating doc is much easier or faster then I suggest
adding that one line as something else you should do in your read
function.
BTW there were other things I found confusing about that doc, and I'd
be happy to suggest other improvements to someone who can make them.
Wouldn't it be better, though, for the people who write the code to
write doc instead of someone like me who is only trying to hallucinate
intent from the code? I'd be much happier to review doc written by
the author of the code.
