it's mentioned briefly in the Array Parameters section of zshparam(1).
I agree that it's useful and maybe not obvious enough in the
documentation; I find it especially useful with the path variable.
When you look at the baroque suites of functions bash users are
constantly reimplementing and filling global dotfiles with to build up
PATH without duplicates, you realize how much more attractive the zsh
option is:
typeset -U path
path+=(~/bin /sw/bin /opt/local/bin)
