Yes, this is the only really sensible approach. The code did this, but
the documentation was incorrect (and inconsistent) about it. Anyway,
code and documentation is fixed now, and I fixed all callers in
base/gui/back (fortunately, only one caller was broken; unfortunately,
it was really badly broken; works now, and has test cases in the test
suite).

But only most, which is very important.
