insert into ... select ...

In manual for V 4.1.7, section 14.1.4.1 it says:
INSERT [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] [INTO] tbl_name [(column_list)]
SELECT ...
it doesn't actually say you can or can't select from a table in another db.
My experiments say it can't be done.
So:
insert into $t select * from other_db.$t
doesn't work.
This needs to be clarified.
And why can't it be done :-)?
