I find that, using my iMac, I can, via file sharing, open and edit documents that are on my MacBook Pro while the latter is apparently asleep with the lid closed.

Yes it is a feature. Although I didn't know this in 2014 and replaced a perfectly good Macbook Pro that I used to have on a shelf, lid open for iTunes Home Sharing and as a file server. The cat would sit on the keyboard when the laptop got warm and go to sleep, so to avoid damage I replaced it with a Mac Mini to great financial cost, then I found out this feature in OS X....
Thanks for the replies guys. I have to admit that this is a belated revelation to me. I was wondering what the catch was! I guess I was worrying that editing documents etc remotely might make the MBP heat up too much or something with the lid closed. It's an all-SSD MBP, if that makes any difference.
