Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 I also think we need to demystify the three capability arguments by
 asking:

 * What they do now?
 * What is their intended purpose?
 * What do we want them to do?

 Experimenting with various combinations of arguments results in unexpected
 results, that do not directly mirror their respective documentation.
