It reads

Optionally, a named list providing a function that will be applied to the value in each cell in the output. You will typically use this when the combination of id_cols and value column does not uniquely identify an observation.

I believe it should be

Am I right?

I think you are correct. Maybe wait for a few other users to chime in and then raise a documentation-related issue on the GitHub.
