It is not.  It's listed as a keyword reserved for future use, but no
syntax or semantics are assigned to it.  (While the SQL99 authors may
have had some specific future plan in mind, I see no particular reason
to assume that whatever they might've had in mind matches what MySQL is
doing with the keyword...)
