What is chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo designed to return?

Now that Chrome 37 is released, there is a new API, identity.getProfileUserInfo . I am not quite sure what information is intended to return or what it represents.

From the documentation, I thought that it would return the email address and user ID of the user signed in Chrome (that is, from the hamburger menu), but this is not entirely true - when I call it (from the extension context, which asks for "identity" permission) , I get the user ID signed in this way (and if I insert it after adding it to plus.google.com/, I get their G + page), but the email field is blank. Is this intended?

Figured it out. There is an undocumented (at least in developer.chrome.com official docs) requirement to request "identity.email" permission to fill out this field. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/apps-dev/WS-5GRw0RkI
