Yea, I was trying to figure out a good name. I thought "unsupported" at first, but that is a tricky word, since it has the connotation of "doesn't work in this version", which is not what I mean to imply -- the thing someone wants to do likely does work, but we need to indicate no guarantees about the future. Which is where "experimental" came from -- the options are useful for experimenting with compiler features that are not fully baked.

Perhaps "internal" is okay too...
