It was introduced about a year ago, so it should be in 7.7 or later
(possibly some earlier releases as well but I haven't checked in
detail.)

If you git, then the relevant commits are

5631a309ab567e0a6a059ce728f84c1637fd253f
3dd474575205d3808390fc6ea2d5feccdb3d4305
1432e4bc79f55ed21e8478284b6b7552736d0c22

The first two are the main ones - the last is a bug fix.

Best bet is a fairly recent org (modulo all the git problems that
people are trying to fix ATM).
