Is that still in the docs? I can't seem to find that in the latest
distributed runtime.

Visual mode was enabled by default a "couple of commits" ago:

#v+
chrisbra@debian ~/code/vim/src (hg)-[default]- % hg log -v -r v7-4-200
Änderung: 5763:0559091e6f09
Marke: v7-4-200

Beschreibung:
updated for version 7.4.200
Problem: Too many #ifdefs in the code.
Solution: Enable FEAT_VISUAL always, await any complaints
#v-

Some commits later FEAT_VISUAL was removed completedly:
#v+
chrisbra@debian ~/code/vim/src (hg)-[default]- % hg log -v -r v7-4-212

Beschreibung:
updated for version 7.4.212
Problem: Now that the +visual feature is always enabled the #ifdefs for it
are not useful.
Solution: Remove the checks for FEAT_VISUAL.
#v-

Best,
