We cannot just include Base.fetch in the @docs block as some methods should keep being documented in the Distributed stdlib rather than in Base.

The method was imported from stdlib by #30961.

I wonder why this exists at all? Is there some good use case?

TBH I think it was a mistake to add this. But now that it exists we can't remove it, so I figured we'd better document it (I was surprised when I realized this worked). Maybe we can note somewhere that it should be removed in 2.0.

I've filed #45425 so that we don't forget to consider its removal for 2.0.
