Hi

I think the problem is, this is a heat client only feature. Meaning that the
docs for the API and service will not have any details of it.

There are other features in this boat too. I am not sure where the docs for
them
should live. I suspect in the heat client tree.

I think this is correct usage, tho' it's been ages since I wrote it and the
code has changed
heaps since then.
