I tried a few searches on the internet and this feature

manpage documenting it:

PS: interestingly, in 4.4BSD-Alpha ('92), this feature was removed from
the man page. sh had started aiming at POSIX and the man page was
completely rewritten...
Minix-2 ash was taked from the 4.3BSD-Net/2 ('91), though, which still
had the original Almquist man page, and so this is a rare place where
the documentation survived.
