It wasn't in the last draft of POSIX.2a (the User Portability Extension or
UPE) that I have (draft 8).  Nor is it listed among the utilities considered
but omitted.

For reference: the commands covered (not counting modifications to POSIX.2
commands) are (were?).

alias		at		batch		bg		crontab
csplit		ctags		df		du		ex
expand		fc		fg		file		jobs
man		mesg		more		newgrp		nice
nm		patch		ps		renice		split
strings		tabs		talk		time		tput
unalias		unexpand	uudecode	uuencode	vi
who		write

Considered but excluded were

SCCS/RCS			compress/uncompress/zcat
emacs				lint
m4				passwd
sdiff
