trading futures in IRA?

Quote from ShoeshineBoy:

What Can I Invest In? Stocks plus covered call writing (covered shares are restricted), buying calls (funds equal to the aggregate exercise value of the long calls are restricted), and buying puts (shares subject to exercise are restricted). The IB IRA may be structured as a Stock Cash Account (if you choose to trade only stocks) or as a Stock Options Level I Account (if you choose to trade options in your IRA).

Odd, I was under the impression that one could also put on option spreads, as long as the margin (max loss) was met ... but the statement doesn't appear to include spreads.

Is anyone putting on credit/debit spreads in their IRA with IB?
