Indeed, but it's a fair question why it's not documented.
The clause does appear in the SQL standard:
<grant privilege statement> ::=
GRANT <privileges> TO <grantee> [ { <comma> <grantee> }... ]
[ WITH HIERARCHY OPTION ]
[ WITH GRANT OPTION ]
[ GRANTED BY <grantor> ]
so I suppose whoever added the implementation just forgot about
fixing the docs.
