Hello Laurent,

It's correct that the port@1 will be returned in yours example.

I'll improve the doc and the function's name in the next revision, thank
you for the suggestions!

Right, I'll reword the doc in v8. This function doesn't differentiate
between start / end points. It's up to a user of this function to check
whether node is endpoint or something else if needed.

Thank you very much for the comments!
