The item is both for "set" and "show", but the text only says "Set".

Otherwise, the documentation parts are OK.

Btw, I wonder if this should be a user option, not a "maint" option.
The heuristics used to determine the cache size tend to be wrong in
some rare corner cases, so letting the user override this should be a
good thing, I think.
