According to my understanding, the difference in policy is deliberate.
Some people may want to write C code according to specific language
standards, so knowing that a feature is available in -ansiC is
useful even if it is also available in -p1003.1-2008.  In contrast,
writing shell scripts according to historic POSIX versions wouldn't
really make sense.

Yours,
