Great, thanks for the insight everybody, especially John's confirmation
seals the deal.

In response to "there's actually lots of info about this", I apologize
that Google's search engine was not strong enough to find me this
information. I also apologize that I did not invent Google and add semantic
search to it. I promise I have tried hard to search for this information
before bothering anybody, and I very much appreciate the explicit
clarification.
