Actually, it is.  If you go to the Slurs page in the Internals Reference,
you will see that there are three different interfaces to slurs:
spanner-interface, slur-interface, and grob-interface.

grob-interface lists the extra-offset property.  This means that
extra-offset applies to Slurs.

Again, going to the PhrasingSlur page in the Internals Reference (3.1.78), a
PhrasingSlur has the same three interfaces as a Slur.  Clicking on the
slur-interface link, you find that the positions property is part of the
slur-interface, and thus applies to both PhrasingSlurs and Slurs.

I'm pointing this out, because it can be a bit daunting getting used to the
Internals Reference.  It's easy to not know how to use it.

HTH,
