case_when errors when having only one condition and the vector length is greater than 1

library(dplyr)

x <- 1
dplyr::case_when(
         TRUE ~   x
)
[1] 1

x <- 1:2
dplyr::case_when(
         TRUE ~   x
)
Error: RHS of case 1 (x) must be length 1 (the first output), not 2

But the error seems deceptive. Maybe the left hand side needs a vector the same length as 'x'.
If so, TRUE ( a single ) value, can not be allowed ( or allowed to be a default. ) Alternately, a single value (TRUE) can only be allowed as the default and the case must have at least 2 conditions. If so, this 'feature' should be in the 'help documentation.'

x <- 1:2
dplyr::case_when(
       x == x ~ x
)
[1] 1 2

x <- 1:2
dplyr::case_when(
       TRUE ~ x
)
Error: RHS of case 1 (x) must be length 1 (the first output), not 2
