It's been there since the beginning of readers.conf.  I'm not sure if
anyone uses it.  However, if there are multiple res commands in a single
auth block, I don't think that you can duplicate the functionality offered
by the res blocks without them.

Likewise with the auth blocks.

That we should definitely document, although the syntax would have to
change if we ever switch from the current readers.conf parser to the new
parser I wrote for inn.conf.
