There is no bug in the existing documentation which corroborates this being
the intended design. The commentary pertaining to ONLY says what this does
and never communicates that future inherit-based interactions come into
play. We tend not to describe things that don’t happen, and the lack of
reported user confusion doesn’t support making an exception here. But a
concrete suggestion could be considered.
