That seems reasonable, though I haven't tried it to verify.  I'd almost
bet that in every case, the values are identical in any case: it's
almost inevitable that in every case, they're just giving names to the
values accepted by the underlying OS and using different names isn't
going to make any difference in how they act.
    Later,
    Jerry.
