What's with the Grenadier archetype description in PFSFG

[chrids]

Grenadier says:

"As an unusual side effect of their skill at handling bombs and alchemical items with increased speed, grenadiers master the ability to drink potions, elixirs, and mutagens quickly and safely, without exposing themselves to peril while doing so."

I'm not seeing anything in the rules for Grenadier that supports this statement. Guessing something got dropped?

Correct. At once point the could eventually use potions and the like as a move action, or maybe even a swift action... but it looks like that ability was cut for balance issues or perhaps for space issues and then the reference to it was missed. The reference should have been cut as well.
