Pandas DOC: read_fwf() is documented as supporting delimiter, but doesn't

The docstring and online manual for read_fwf() say:

delimiter : str, default None Alternative argument name for sep.

But in fact, sep does nothing in this function, while delimiter has some effect, though perhaps not intentional:

import io
import pandas as pd

pd.read_fwf(io.StringIO('foo,bar\n1,2'),delimiter=',')
pd.read_fwf(io.StringIO('foo,bar\n1,2'),sep=',')

Both are nonsensical and should really produce an error, but they actually produce two different results:

   foo  bar
0  1,2  NaN

  foo,bar
0     1,2

The documentation should be cleaned up to not suggest the use of delimiter with read_fwf() unless it is actually useful and intended (in which case sep should be made to do the same, and documented).
