D - Thread.wait()

The documentation for Thread says:

void wait();
Wait for this thread to terminate. Throws ThreadError if the thread hasn't
begun yet or has already terminated or is called on itself
Thankfully these are not the semantics apparent in thread.d.

    void wait()
    {
     if (this === getThis())
         error("wait on self");
     if (state == TS.RUNNING)
     {   DWORD dw;
         dw = WaitForSingleObject(hdl, 0xFFFFFFFF);
     }
    }

Presumably the doc is just out-of-date. Is this correct?
