Yes, it seems only this occurence exists. And, looking quickly at the
sources, it is not completely surprising that it works... So, unless
you find problems, I'll make the change (I do not have time to check
it, but the feature does no harm when it is not used, anyway...).
Congratulations! You just added a feature to LyX :)
