default for hairpinToBarline (documentation)

The manual (6.6.3 Dynamics) says:

"A hairpin starts at the left edge of the beginning note and ends on the right edge of the ending note. This may be modified by setting the hairpinToBarline property,
  "\set hairpinToBarline = ##t"

Yet it appears the default setting is already ##t, as can be seen in this example:

\version "2.9.26"
{    c'2. c4\< c'2 c2\! \break
    \set hairpinToBarline = ##f
    c'1\< c'1\!
}

So either the default should be changed (to ##f) to reflect the manual, or the manual should be changed to reflect the default (##t), e.g.:

"Normally, a hairpin starts at the left edge of the beginning note and ends on the right edge of the ending note. If the ending note falls on the downbeat, the hairpin ends on the immediately preceding barline. This may be modified by setting the hairpinToBarline property, "\set hairpinToBarline = ##f" [and, of course, change ##t to ##f in the musical excerpt]
