Correct!

Wonderful. If you like to see any change in wording on the documentation to 
make this feature more clear:
We welcome suggestions (or pull-requests) on github[1].
Documentation can also be edited directly there[2] (hit the pencil) and github 
will offer you then to make a pull request.

Best regards,

Pieter
