Yep, that's definitely a misuse.  If it works for you, that's just blind
luck.  I don't think it's entirely your fault, though, since
'description' has never been adequately documented (except by Reading
The Fine Source).  I've started beefing up the reference guide, though,
so your days of happy ignorance are numbered.  ;-)
