I don't know -- should we?  I didn't find any other function for which
we say something like that, so saw no reason to single this one out.
Did I miss something?

In any case, if it's so important to mention that, why doesn't the
function's doc string make a point of doing so?  Or maybe I didn't
understand the doc string (do you?).
