The doc string says nothing at all about what a generic mode is.
(elisp) `Generic Modes' says only this:
"Generic modes" are simple major modes with basic support for comment
syntax and Font Lock mode.
Is that all users need to know about a generic mode?
Can we at least say something like that in the doc string?

I've now done so in Emacs 28.
