I sort of thought that was what was happening. I certainly know that
I've been similarly confused in the past, so it rung true with my
experience.

That is understandable, I certainly dont think that breaking backwards
compatibility is the right way to go either. I think documentation is a
good place to clarify, as the pedantry in naming would be less of an
issue if it was clearly spelled out that the TLS options are actually
STARTTLS. In fact the perdition documentation is really well done and
should be commended. This is more or less a small nit pick.

Absolutely, that makes the most sense!
