No, further on down the page, it says it was added to POSIX to align it
_with_ SUS. In any case, it's obviously now part of both, so calling it
"non-SUS" strikes me as misleading. (AFAICT there is currently nothing
in POSIX that is not also in SUS: that's why there are inclusion
qualifiers to mark something as SUS but not POSIX (XSI), but not vice
versa.)
