note 82553 added to function.ftp-connect

The ftp_connect() function seems to have a third, optional parameter: $timeout. I find it very useful, since the default timeout of 90 seconds is very long and the average user won't wait that long for a page to be loaded... Nevertheless I'm wondering if there's a reason, why this parameter is not documented here. Eventually it's a deprecated feature from previous PHP versions and might not be supported by future releases... If that is true, how can I alternatively realize a connection timeout? Greetings, A.
