I did, thank you, fixed that.

Ok, thanks. I have checked the box for the C client. I have done that but I don't have PR/etc.. Here is the commit rev but it may disappear later on when I will be ready to have PR for JS: nats-io/nats.c@19c5445

#181 updates the ADR status

There are mentions of the extended purge functionality in the docs, albeit scattered. As part of docs reorg, it will be properly highlighted in the reference docs.
