I actually think the misconfiguration (from documentation's point of
view) Peff is taking advantage of is a behaviour you would naturally
expect, if you do not read the documentation but are merely aware of
the presence of .host and .tunnel and guess what these do. And
those who felt it was a natural design would probably not have asked
any question about it. Documenting the current behaviour better
would not hurt. Updating the behaviour and documenting the new
behaviour would not help anybody.
