self is implicit.

Yes.  But you wouldn't want a document to be
folderish anyway, would you?  This flag is mainly there for 
various Python classes that want to implement folderish
(folder-like) behavior.   In the future, you'll be able to
implement new objects through the web and this flag
(or something like it) will be useful for indicating
whether your new objects should be treated as folders.
