Use caution when making use of `Experimental` features, particularly
within modules that are dependencies (or dependencies of
dependencies) within a Node.js application. End users may not be aware that
experimental features are being used, and may experience unexpected
failures or behavior changes when API modifications occur. To help avoid such
surprises, `Experimental` features may require a command-line flag to
enable them, or may emit a process warning.
By default, such warnings are printed to [`stderr`][] and may be handled by
attaching a listener to the [`'warning'`][] event.
