Am I missing a convention here? You don't. Some parts of the HSQL description are not as ... extensive as a gossipy man like /me wishs they were ;). For instance the fact that all those functions are only named, but there's not a single piece of prose explaining them is something which I regularly find strange. Anyway. The BOTH was just guessing on my side, it would be the natural default from my POV.
