SFP+ modules - I learned something today

Of course you can plug an SFP in to an SFP+ port, everyone knows that. Today I learned you can can plug (maybe only under certain circumstances?) a 10Gbit SFP+ in to a 10Gbit SPF+ port, OR in to a 1Gbit SFP port. You can even force the speed of a 10Gbit SFP+ port to 1Gbit, and link up with a 1Gbit SFP.

Sorry if this is old news, it got me out of a bind today, didn't know it was possible. I'm used to optics being capable of only one speed.
