My problem was not that it was hard to find. I found what I needed to know
quickly enough. My point is that I had to look. At the cost of adding a single
bullet point in 5.3's notes, I wouldn't have had to look at all.

That said, I understand what you're saying: the warning was there in 5.2. It's
my fault that I missed it.

Thanks, Peter
