No, it is not a trick - rather design intent.
If you look at the examples, you will see some that dump the whole table
with GET operation. Likewise a table flush/delete will be of the same
nature with the appropriate operation. The path points to the object,
the operation says what to do.
Do you think we need to be explicit on this issue?
