As a joke, it's funny. > It is not always possible for maintainers to document everything on a man > page. My only point is that Hervé's concern is perfectly legitimate given the output of "?is". Whether the inconsistency is in the behaviour of the function or in the documentation, that I don't know. Personally, I think that having two functions (is, extends) with exactly the same output wouldn't be very practical. But it's a fact that the difference is not currently addressed in the man page.
