Question about dhcp-client-identifier

I was only able to find this entry for billing-class, or just the word 
billing in general, in the man pages:
$> man dhcpd
dhcpd(8):
billing-class handle examine
            the handle to the class to which this lease is currently 
billed, if any (the class object is not currently supported).

--- nothing found in the other dhcpd related man pages. ---

$> find /usr/share/man/man*/ | xargs grep -i billing
/usr/share/man/man1/perlirix.1:(David Billinghurst 
<David.Billinghurst at riotinto.com.au>)
/usr/share/man/man3p/times.3p:The term ``charge'' in this context has 
nothing to do with billing
/usr/share/man/man8/dhcpd.8:.B billing-class \fIhandle\fR examine
$> find /usr/local/share/man/man*/ | xargs grep -i billing
$>

I assume that means that this is not yet implemented (version 3.1.0)?  
Obviously class appears alot, but not in combination with billing.
