That is the expression used in all opcodes with a "skip time" optional 
argument. It is needed in the context of "legato" performance (e.g. via 
negative p3), where it is necessary to retain internal state (phase, 
delayed audio data, etc) across successive opcode calls (note events). 
Of course, all the reverb opcodes make extensive use of delay lines 
(allpass and comb filters).

By default, that state is cleared on each note instance, but if you need 
to prevent that for legato purposes (such as multiple notes handled 
under a single reverb effect), you can do so by setting that flag. It 
also enables the "tail" of the reverb to continue to play out after a 
given note has finished, as one would normally want.  Of course the 
modern way to deal with that is to place general reverbs in a dedicated 
global always-on instrument, through which all note data is routed.
