I recall a discussion in '99 (i.e., before the 2.95 release) that it
would be a good idea to get uniformity in "bounds checking options".
The reason discussing this at that time was that Craig Burley just
finished the implementation of array bound checking in Fortran, and it
would be there in the 2.95 series.
So for other languages they are probably doing nothing *at the moment*
but act as a sort of reserved keywords.
Hope this helps (I can try to find this discussion on the mailing list
archives if there's interest).
