Yes - this is intentional. When we were adding this functionality to MR, there were a few threads on the dev list talking about it. The decision was made to have two operations because they really are two separate operations (in particular, to capture the semantics that 'create' will actually make something new, whereas 'add' does not). > Just pointing it out in case this is something that got lost in the > cracks.

The wiki page reflects the original thoughts on the topic - the implementation is how it worked out. I've updated the wiki to reflect the implementation. Thanks for pointing this out.
