Specifically, the following features are considered experimental: - Ephemeral objects (fka "colo-local actors"). - Any compatibility flag that doesn't have a default-on date assigned. We could consider creating a separate `$experimental` or `$stable` annotation instead of using presence/absence of a date, but I wanted to be cautious for now. (Incidentally, though, it looks like we should go ahead and assign dates to most of the flags that don't have them?) I decided to use a CLI flag rather than a config flag in order to add resistance against using this in production, but we can consider finer-grained control if it proves warranted.
