I think we want to keep the experimental checks grouped to their parent module rather than being in a module of their own. Also, if we want to allow experimental checks, I think we should have some rough community consensus on 1) what are the criteria for something being experimental and included in clang-tidy (as opposed to in an out-of-tree repo) and what are the maintenance expectations for those checks, 2) what is the criteria for moving something *out* of experimental mode, and 3) how long should something be experimental without improvement before it's removed from clang-tidy?

I'm not opposed to the idea of experimental checks, but I don't want to see "experimental" become a dumping ground for low-quality checks that we then have to maintain indefinitely.
