Looking through history, it appears that the documentation describes 
aspects of the implementation that were true at different points. Then the 
margin was hidden by default and its mask set to 0 instead of all the fold 
symbols.

It would likely be better behaviour for new projects to restore the fold 
symbol mask for margin 2 but that may cause unwanted change to existing 
applications. Probably best to err on the side of caution by continuing the 
current behaviour and changing the documentation to omit 'folding symbols'. 
so:

"Margin 2 is a symbol margin that is given a width of 0, so it is hidden."
