Oops :))) Now I remember writing something about it. No wonder the feature looked familiar :)
Still, we should always attempt to keep the docs in sync, especially when creating new features. We would get plenty of feedback and ideas to help make it better. The reason it is so hard to add API editing functionality is because so many other components (hooks) depend on internal code to behave a certain way, and changing that is very difficult. Creating new API functionality is very easy, but changing anything has already proven very difficult as so many client programs depend on it (e.g. categories parameter, using titles instead of eititles, etc.) Thx!
