But documented, quoting from the manual page:
--idle (since 6.3.3)
(Keyword: idle, since before 6.0.0) Enable IDLE use (effective
only with IMAP). Note that this works with only one folder at a
given time. [...]
Should I change the wording? If so, how?

Currently impossible. Fetchmail is single-threaded and does not
otherwise multiplex connections. It would require major changes to
the fetchmail structure so that 6.3.X will not see such changes.
