Does Symbolic Math Toolbox Formally Support Function Composition?

The doc page Create Symbolic Functions states "The Symbolic Math Toolbox™ currently does not support composite symbolic functions, or symbolic functions that are functions of another symbolic functions."

But we can do

syms f(x) h(x)
y(x) = f(h(x))

y(x) = 

Is y not a composite, symbolic function?

The chain rule works as well

dy(x) = diff(y(x),x)

dy(x) = 

Is the doc wrong or am I misunderstanding the quoted statement?

This is not legal:

syms f(x) g(x)
h(f, g) = f + g

Error using indexing (line 235)
Indexing values must be positive integers, logicals, or symbolic variables. For 'symfun' data type, indexing means evaluating the function for the given value. See also 'subs'.

Error in sym/privsubsasgn (line 1183)
L_tilde2 = builtin('subsasgn',L_tilde,struct('type','()','subs',{varargin}),R_tilde);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error in indexing (line 1030)
C = privsubsasgn(L,R,inds{:});
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is not legal either:

syms f(x) g(x)
h = symfun(f + g, [f, g])

Error using symfun.validateArgNames (line 111)
Second argument must be a scalar or vector of unique symbolic variables.

Error in symfun (line 144)
y.vars = symfun.validateArgNames(inputs);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Walter Roberson]

In other words, symbolic function definitions cannot accept functions as parameters; they can only accept symbolic variables that you pass in symbolic functions in place of.

syms f(x) g(x) F G
h(F,G) = F + G

h(F, G) = 

h(f, g)

ans =

Fair enough. But that quoted statement from the doc page should be updated along the lines of defining composite functions via symfun (or its shortcut notation) is what's not supported, as opposed to not supporting composite functions at all, which seems to be clearly not the case.
