Thanks, but this is not the right place for documenting the option if
we want to make it more discoverable.  User options are supposed to be
documented in the Emacs user manual, not in the Lisp Reference manual,
and users are unlikely to look in the latter when they look for
user-level information.

So I think this should be added to the node "Text Mode" of the user
manual instead.  Bonus points for mentioning this feature in the doc
string of text-mode as well.
