tweet_mode='extended' is undocumented on API.user_timeline but works

See original GitHub issue

API.user_timeline does not state that tweet_mode is a valid parameter, but when I used it (tweet_mode=extended), it returned the tweets with the full_text attribute.

It works perfectly, it’s just undocumented.

This does not appear to work as of June 2021 - running it on user_timeline returns truncated texts every time. Should it not? Currently on version 3.10.0.
