Looks like the latter. The variable was added in 2015, postdating
the merge of EXISCAN in 2004, and there was no code in that commit
(c5f280e20a) passing it via the spool.

I could touch up the docs, or just add the code (if you want to
do the latter yourself, it's pretty obvious for both the reading
and writing sides). I'm assuming it's likely to be a short string.
