the history of line movement commands

After a decade of accidentally hitting '-' in normal mode, I chose
today to be mindful of what it did, and learned about the line motion
commands +, -, and _. I'm curious: does anyone know if the original vi
had them? I don't remember it from my pre-vim days, and the few vi
cheatsheets online don't seem to mention them either. But on the other
hand, :help doesn't say they are {not in Vi}, and vi_diff.txt doesn't
seem to mention them either.
