it's documentation enough to not call it an undocumented feature.

the concern with truly undocumented functionality is that it's not included intentionally: either it's a bug or an experimental feature that could be removed or changed with no notice. a poorly-documented feature, on the other hand, will probably at least get a deprecation notice before it disappears

Which is why I didn't call it that, I called it poorly documented.
