You're right.  In both my Windows and Linux machines, I use the
(almost-) latest vim built from source.  Recently I added a
non-recursive "<Plug>" mapping in my vimrc and it worked fine.  But then
I saw that it didn't work in my WSL vim.  Now I realize the version of
vim in WSL is 8.2.  I guess there isn't any further need for the doc to
be updated.  But if I do draft a doc patch, I'll open a PR.
