Where should it be documented?

2. What does this mean?

I changed that wording just now to try to clarify it a bit.

3. Why is this not a _user option_, instead of an internal
    variable?

Stefan asked that it not be a custom var; see:

Seemed reasonable to me, too. Users who care about this sort of thing tend to be experts who don't need handholding.
