Thanks Filipe for the feedback.

This may be invalid, but documentation is so far behind now, I'm never 
sure what is expected behavior and what is a bug. Every new feature from 
the last 1+ years is either poorly documented, or not documented at all. 
Luckily, I typically use a base feature set that I've been happy with 
since 0.10.x. This was a case of trying a new feature, reading the 
documentation, and finding that it was not really documented at all.
