[PD-dev] [sqrt~] precision & documentation

I've always been under the impression that [sqrt~] was more precise than [q8_sqrt~]The help file seems to reflect this. (saying sqrt~ is 20 bits accuracy, but q8_sqrt~ is only 8)
However, the source in d_math.c seems to indicate that they are actually the same class/perform method:

sigsqrt_class = class_new(gensym("sqrt~"), (t_newmethod)sigsqrt_new, 0, sizeof(t_sigsqrt), 0, 0);class_addcreator(sigsqrt_new, gensym("q8_sqrt~"), 0);
am I missing something, or is the documentation incorrect about them being different?
