The capability was added to resolve #8261, but while it was documented for
ModelAdmin it wasn't added to the list of shared features for
InlineModelAdmin.

(This should be easy enough to resolve, although I haven't checked whether
there are other shared features that aren't currently listed, which would
be ideal to do when resolving. I'll try to find time to check and get a PR
together.)

Comment (by James Aylett):

There are also:
* `empty_value_display`, `autocomplete_fields`, `sortable_by` all of
which are documented in ModelAdmin
* `show_full_result_count` is listed in BaseModelAdmin, but I'm
unconvinced it's used for inlines
* various `get_*` methods (which are also documented but effectively
duplicate attributes and so are probably best left off)

And the sort order for the shared features doesn't make sense; it's
neither consistent with that in the ModelAdmin docs above, nor
alphabetical.

I have a draft patch, but would appreciate thoughts on what the sort order
for that list (around docs/contrib/admin/index.rst:2278) should be.
