VPC=S/MLT?

Wow. A fellow greybeard. OK. That's what I needed to know. I'm trying to 
understand if VPC has any more recent enhancements that weren't around 
for some older multi-chassis channel methods but I don't see anything 
specific in the docs other than some FHRP (HSRP only it appears) and PIM 
tweaks. If anyone has some really deep docs on VPC I'd appreciate the 
links. Thanks.
