The suggested wording shouldn't be a "warning" in my view. But yes, not a lot
is done to a handle when you've just added it so chances are very slim that
curl_multi_fdset() would return any socket info for that handle, as the
*perform() (or related functions) is the one that actually performs anything
(hence the name) of importance and performing network and protocol related
stuff is what makes the socket get used and move over various states etc.

But you _can_ still call curl_multi_fdset() before the perform() call, it will
still return the truth!
