Where did you happen onto the modeline frame parameter?

Reading the code, it looks like internal bookkeeping, and is always set
on the C level from f->wants_modeline, which again is only set to false
in make_minibuffer_frame.

So it doesn't look like a frame parameter that can be set by the user,
if I'm reading the code correctly, and therefore shouldn't be documented.
