+/**
+ * The experimental standard library API marker. The API marked with this annotation is not subject to the
+ * [general compatibility guarantees](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/evolution/components-stability.html) given for the standard library:
+ * the behavior of such API may be changed or the API may be removed completely in any further release.
+ *
+ * > Beware using the annotated API especially if you're developing a library, since your library might become binary incompatible
+ * with the future versions of the standard library.
+ *
+ * Any usage of a declaration annotated with `@ExperimentalStdlibApi` must be accepted either by
+ * annotating that usage with the [UseExperimental] annotation, e.g. `@UseExperimental(ExperimentalStdlibApi::class)`,
+ * or by using the compiler argument `-Xuse-experimental=kotlin.ExperimentalStdlibApi`.
