To give credit where credit is due, the "undocumented feature" dates back far beyond Microsoft and Bill Gates to at least the early days of IBM.
I know that it was applied by IBM to some of the early EBCIDIC character sets and some of the bizarre "alternates" (odd characters that differed by application). It may have other earlier applications.
