Usually... but the "API Reference" (appendix B) is a rather cranky
friend at times :-{
two examples that come to mind:
- user.has_permission() is either broken or mis-documented
(it always uses getSecurityManager().getUser() instead of the
user object you call it on). I suspect it's broken - there's
an old collector item about it.
- ObjectManagerItem does not exist, and apparently never did exist.
The closest thing to it is probably SimpleItem.
I cannot guess the motivation behind inventing a fictional
class for the documentation.
