Well, I haven't looked usage up in the manual but will take your word
for it as I don't know my way around the backend.  Seems like some
design decisions were involved with consequences I don't find intuitive,
or something else is at play here.

I'll certainly stand by my statement that the quote _seems_ spurious,
even though that may not be your fault but that of the make-stencil
design.

Sorry for the confusion.
