Hi Tomsy --

This capability and flag have long since been retired:

https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/commit/0dc836f
https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/commit/6b3879d585f371710262bb115feeb73adfc339e0

Over time, the complexity of having the runtime depend on Chapel code 
seemed to outweigh the benefit of being able to write runtime code in 
Chapel, which is why we ended up retiring it.

I hadn't realized that they were still mentioned in documentation and will 
remove them (unless you'd like to contribute a PR to do so yourself).

If there was a related capability you needed this for, please let us know.

-Brad
