In that case, there are two bugs:

1. The doc string should say that it is a minor mode, and say how
to change the value (on/off).  I think this has been addressed by
bug #20462.

2. (This bug) The manuals should document how to turn on/off a major mode
using Lisp.  Please retitle this bug appropriately.

Sorry if this mode is not an example of a major mode.
