Great, I'll try to review V3 tomorrow.

So it seems that (please correct me if I am wrong) you were confused by
some wording in a changelog or cover letter. If yes, too late to fix it.

But perhaps you can check (and possibly fix/improve) the man page(s) ?
Though, to be honest, I have no idea where all of this is documented...
But surely it must be documented somewhere, right ? ;)

Thanks,
