Thanks for the answer.
I already suspected such a definition.

But why is it not part of the documentation?
If nobody takes care of the documentation anymore
then it should better be removed at all.
IMO the current documentation is very bad and outdated.
Not very inviting for potentially interested programmers.
Without a reliable documentation all programming is just guessing
and hoping and trial and error.
