I thought I had read that in Newham and Rosenblatt, Learning the Bash
Shell, O'Reilly,2nd. ed., but on a quick search I don't see it. They
do refer to it as "archaic" (Table 1-6). In a footnote on page 103
they say it is there for backward compatibility. The man page is
silent on deprecation. So I could be wrong on that.
