Dervish, Scimitar, Light Weapons and Grappling

Ahhh, what a usefull fountain of knowledge this place is. :)

One of my players was browsing through the CW and noticed this in the description of Slashing Blades for the Dervish PrC.

"treats the scimitar as a light weapon (...) for all purposes..."

This would allow the Dervish to use a scimitar in a grapple as it would be a light weapon. It's pretty explicitly worded so my initial reaction would be to say "Yes, you may use a scimitar in a grapple", but I thought I would see if anyone else has had any problems with this before allowing it in my game.

Your experiences?
