substitution was added for ACL sets with ITS#2285.  However, as per ITS#5804,
the man page is lacking documentation on this feature.  It should be added.

The man page lacks documentation on sets, period... The examples in the Admin

feature exists, largely unchanged from its initial inception. (Yes, features 
have been added, but there's been no radical redesign.)
