Does the Switch on the RT-AC66u Support Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)?

Subject says it all. I'm asking because I was digging around in the html code for Advanced_SwitchCtrl_Content.asp on Merlin's latest firmware build for my AC66u and found the following entry for a table row for the options to be presented on the page:

Code:
<tr id="lacp_tr" style="display:none;">
<th><a class="hintstyle" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="openHint(29,1);">B
onding/ Link aggregation</a></th><td>
<select name="lacp_enabled" class="input_option">
<option class="content_input_fd" value="0" <% nvram_match("lacp_enabled", "0","
selected"); %>><#2170#></option>
<option class="content_input_fd" value="1" <% nvram_match("lacp_enabled", "1","
selected"); %>><#2169#></option>
</select>
&nbsp
<div id="lacp_desc"><span >Please enable Bonding (802.3ad) support of your wire
d client and connect it to Router LAN1 and LAN2.</span><div></td>
</tr>

It looks like Merlin's firmware offers an option for enabling or disabling LACP on the AC66u, but I've never seen this option actually presented on the Switch tab (it only shows options for STP, jumbo frames, and hardware acceleration). So does the AC66u actually support LACP? Or is this a feature that is supported only on newer Asus routers? If so, which ones?
 
With RMerlin firmware, it is supported through scripts.
