I think the section that you are patching is more for roughly mentioning
all the possible uses of various characters, but it's not the
authoritative source for what all those characters mean in detail in
those contexts. Otherwise, this could get out of hand. I would have
expected to find that for this particular case on the SELECT reference
page, but it's not mentioned there either. Maybe that page should be
updated?
