Oh, my mistake, I was thinking you had reverted the newer wording.
Still, it seems wrong to me, because omitting "only" essentially
turns the statement into a no-op. We wouldn't bother to say anything
if you could set the parameter whenever you wanted.

We could back-patch the newer wording if you want a change.
