+=item The builtin namespace
+
+Introduced in Perl 5.36.0.
+
+Using this feature triggers warnings in the category C<experimental::builtin>.
+
+In Perl 5.36.0, a new namespace, C<builtin>, was created for new core functions
+that will not be present in every namespace, but will be available for
+importing. The namespace itself is considered an experiment. Specific
+functions within it may also be experimental.
