Sure it has an effect. For the CLIP keyword values.

What do you mean, not implemented? As the documentation says,

When used with [PLOT/OPLOT], it indicates that *clip* and/or
*position* (keyword) coordinates are interpreted as normal
coordinates.

Of course, for POSITION the default *is* normal coordinates,
but for CLIP the default is data coordinates.
