Can you get some context as to when/where it is used?

I know it as a very dangerous way of exporting NFS shares.  Generally only done
when political powers force admins to do stupid things, like let the whole world
have root access to all NFS shares.

I'm not aware of it being a SYSV or BSD command, but it might be an intrinsic
shell command in a shell I don't use.  Must not be that commonly used.
