Global datasets options for existsing custom chart extension

There is a new structure to configure the datasets options at global level for each chart type.

In the documentation where it’s explained how to extend existing charts, it’s reported:

// Sets the default config for ‘derivedBubble’ to be the same as the bubble defaults. // We look for the defaults by doing Chart.defaults[chartType] // It looks like a bug exists when the defaults don’t exist Chart.defaults.derivedBubble = Chart.defaults.bubble;

It looks like that you don’t have to create any global dataset options, even if I think it should, like all other default options, something like:

Chart.defaults.derivedBubble = Chart.defaults.bubble;
Chart.defaults.global.datasets.derivedBubble = Chart.defaults.global.datasets.bubble;

Is this part missing into New Charts documentation?
