If VASP has such function, how can we use it?

the VCA is not supported by vasp (yet) at the moment

Quite interesting, then, that the VASP 5.2.11 OUTCAR file contains settings for VCA ionic weights.

They are set at 1.00 of course, for all the atoms involved, but that would indicate there is support for VCA in 5.2.11. However, there is no documentation on how to e.g. input such atoms in POSCAR.
