Control Interceptor mis-comment?

Hi -

The Beehive control framework has an interceptor model that is really
cool and easy to use. I found this comment at the
org.apache.beehive.controls.spi.svc.Interceptor class:

* A return value of "true" from each Interceptor method indicates to the runtime
 * that it should continue execution through the normal flow of
control (ie, subsequent
 * interceptors and operation/event execution).  "false" indicates
that the interceptor
 * has fully processed the operation and the runtime should "pivot" out.

However, none of the Interceptor's methods returns boolean, instead
they all return void. Is this just a mistake in the comment, or is
there a interceptor-chaining mechanism somewhere?

Thanks
