Does rsync delete unmatched files by default?

I've been using rsync pretty regularly for the last couple weeks, and
have noticed that it does not delete the files in the destination if
they've been deleted from the source.  You could always just try it on
your own machine (maybe with two test folders and some garbage files)
to be double sure....
