Nope, nothing to do with regulator that I'm aware of and I've not seen
any examples (but I don't tend to review users too often).

Document by reference then?  It really should be the name of the supply
provided by the regulator, that wording is probably good.  Given that
it's a standard regulator property I'd not document it here at all, just
refer to the generic bindings and say any suitable properties there can
be used.
