Doc string for svn_wc_status misleading?

From: Arild Fines <arild.fines_at_broadpark.no>

The doc string for svn_wc_status states the following:

[[
Here are some things to note about the returned structure. A quick
examination of the status->text_status after a successful return of this
function can reveal the following things:

svn_wc_status_none : path is not versioned, and is either not present on
disk, or is ignored by svn's default ignore regular expressions or the
svn:ignore property setting for path's parent directory.

svn_wc_status_missing : path is versioned, but is missing from the working
copy.

svn_wc_status_unversioned : path is not versioned, but is present on disk
and not being ignored (see above).
]]

Looking at the code, there does not seem to be any way for text_status to be
set to svn_wc_status_none for an ignored file. This means it is impossible
to detect an ignored file using svn_wc_status alone.
