So it's not really a documentation error but a coding defect. The  
constant is misspelled. A plural OPTIONS is tolerable but ATOMATIC? So  
now everyone using this has to also cock up the spelling. Come on,  
really!

Surely the proper fix is to leave the documentation alone, keep the  
misspelled constant just in case someone is using it, and add a new  
correctly spelled constant so new code can use it.
