Correct.

[I’m not sure if it actually /uses/ `dispatch_once` specifically, but it has the same semantics.]

It certainly would be nice.  I suspect that this would be hard to implement because the restrictions associated with `dispatch_once` are pretty tight.  OTOH, if you’d like to see it work this way it wouldn’t hurt to file an enhancement request.
