It is unsupported and largely undocumented, and yes, some things in
there are broken. But most of it is potentially useful.

I think it's actually for some other tool that no one uses.

Dunno. But then again, I don't know anything about vim and have never
needed a restricted shell, so I'm not in a position to judge if they're
