Thanks.  I've now added a comment to that effect in commit b289ceaf79.
I'm therefore closing this bug.

Note however that it was actually included in 1999, so that's what I
added.  Here's the initial commit:

commit 71e6882726cc7904f4e1852d6e703590748150d6
Author: Dave Love <fx <at> gnu.org>
Date:   Wed Sep 1 11:06:25 1999 +0000

    Initial revision

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
