I don't know any Bourne shell which implements it.

It was apparently introduced with ksh88-e (however, i can't find
anything related in its changelog.) HP-UX 8 and 9 /bin/posix/sh
is older (88c) - that's the only exception i know.

(BTW, this was added to ash on 4.4BSDalpha, thus it's
also available in all ash variants aiming at POSIX.
bash and pdksh probably had it almost since birth.)

And zsh (at least 2.00.01 already had it, that must have been
around 1991).
