[SDL] Recursive SDL_WM_GrabInput()

I'd just like to be sure about this:

SDL_WM_GrabInput() is not recursive, and was never intended to be.

Correct?

What I'm asking is, can/should I rely on 
SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_OFF) to instantly release input even after 
N unmatched SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_ON) calls?

The documentation says nothing about this at all, so I assume that 
means SDL_WM_GrabInput() is *not* recursive. However, that logic is 
mostly based on the fact that a recursive implementation is *usually* 
extra work, implying that non-recursive would be the default behavior 
of everything.


Thanks,
