minibuffer history positions - 0 or 1 based?

Info:

(VARIABLE . STARTPOS)
     Use VARIABLE (a symbol) as the history list, and assume that the
     initial history position is STARTPOS (an integer, counting from
     zero which specifies the most recent element of the history).

Docstring:

  It can be a symbol, which is the history list variable to use,
  or it can be a cons cell (HISTVAR . HISTPOS).
  In that case, HISTVAR is the history list variable to use,
  and HISTPOS is the initial position (the position in the list
  which INITIAL-CONTENTS corresponds to).
  Positions are counted starting from 1 at the beginning of the list.


Which is it?  And is this a known documentation bug?
