Yes, but I think the OP is regarding FLTK2 (subject of this thread).
I think the FLTK folks have done what they can to get rid of
the implied begin() by taking it out in FLTK2.
There was no way to take it out of FLTK1 without breaking
all legacy code, so it remains. Folks using FLTK1 just have
to know about the implied begin(), and if that's not clear from
the docs, feel free to add more info to STR #1815 before it closes.

Agreed; to get this fixed, please make an STR, or append to the
existing #1815 before it gets closed for being a dup, as I think
matthais already made a doc fix in SVN for this, but it hasn't
updated to the website yet.
