The documentation of FOUND is already quite explicit about which kinds
of statements set it:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-DIAGNOSTICS

I'm disinclined to put notes about PL/pgSQL features into command
reference pages that have nothing to do with PL/pgSQL.
