It doesn't appear to be there because it isn't there.
I think some systems may support it, but with a different name; I seem
to remember that HP-UX supports it, but it may be called something else.
I think AT&T picked up that feature in the S5R4 C shell, perhaps with
the HP-UX name....

It's largely standard on systems with System III or later Bourne shells
(except, I think, some SunOS releases between 3.0 and either 3.2 or
4.0). However, some systems with older Bourne shells exist, so it's not
universal.
