It isn't really documented, it's one of those tricks that uses a function (or a side effect of it) for a different purpose to what it was provided for.
Basically, you can set a variable to be used elsewhere, and I assume this is probably documented (not used it myself, so never looked). A side effect of setting a variable is that it's stored in the leases file - hence if you want to put some information in the leases file (eg for debugging what classes have been matched) then setting a variable (which you never actually reference) will do it.
