I agree this could be clearer. I plan to improve this for 9. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023020 for the javadoc cleanup and https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6761417 for a related enhancement request. I do think it is important to state the various corner cases but the main part of the method doc could be improved. cheers /Joel
