=head2 The 'isa' feature
-B<WARNING>: This feature is still experimental and the implementation may
-change or be removed in future versions of Perl. For this reason, Perl will
-warn when you use the feature, unless you have explicitly disabled the warning:
-
- no warnings "experimental::isa";
-
This allows the use of the C<isa> infix operator, which tests whether the
scalar given by the left operand is an object of the class given by the
right operand. See L<perlop/Class Instance Operator> for more details.
-This feature is available from Perl 5.32 onwards.
+This feature is available from Perl 5.32 onwards. From Perl 5.32 to 5.34,
+it was classed as experimental, and Perl emitted a warning for its usage,
+except when explicitly disabled:
+
+ no warnings "experimental::isa";
+
+As of Perl 5.36, use of this feature no longer triggers a warning (though the
+C<experimental::isa> warning category stilll exists for compatibility with
+code that disables it).
=head2 The 'indirect' feature
The perl built-in filehandles C<STDIN>, C<STDOUT>, C<STDERR>, C<DATA>,
C<ARGV>, C<ARGVOUT> and the special C<_> are always enabled.
-This feature is enabled under this name from Perl 5.34 onwards. In
-previous versions it was simply on all the time.
+This behavior was always present in versions before Perl 5.34. In Perl 5.34,
+it was made controllable with the C<feature> pragma, but was on by default.
+It is not present in the C<:5.36> feature bundle, so C<use v5.36> disables
+this feature.
You can use the L<bareword::filehandles> module on CPAN to disable
bareword filehandles for older versions of perl.
no warnings "experimental::try";
This feature enables the C<try> and C<catch> syntax, which allows exception
-handling, where exceptions throwin from the body of the block introduced with
+handling, where exceptions thrown from the body of the block introduced with
C<try> are caught by executing the body of the C<catch> block.
For more information, see L<perlsyn/"Try Catch Exception Handling">.
+=head2 The 'defer' feature
+
+This feature enables the C<defer> block syntax, which allows a block of code
+to be deferred until when the flow of control leaves the block which contained
+it. For more details, see L<perlsyn/defer>.

=head1 FEATURE BUNDLES
It's possible to load multiple features together, using
postderef_qq say state switch unicode_eval
unicode_strings
+ :5.36 bitwise current_sub evalbytes fc
+ postderef_qq say state unicode_eval
+ unicode_strings
+
The C<:default> bundle represents the feature set that is enabled before
any C<use feature> or C<no feature> declaration.

+=head1 CHECKING FEATURES
+
+C<feature> provides some simple APIs to check which features are enabled.
+
+These functions cannot be imported and must be called by their fully
+qualified names. If you don't otherwise need to set a feature you will
+need to ensure C<feature> is loaded with:
+
+ use feature ();
+
+=over
+
+=item feature_enabled($feature)
+
+=item feature_enabled($feature, $depth)
+
+ package MyStandardEnforcer;
+ use feature ();
+ use Carp "croak";
+ sub import {
+ croak "disable indirect!" if feature::feature_enabled("indirect");
+ }
+
+Test whether a named feature is enabled at a given level in the call
+stack, returning a true value if it is. C<$depth> defaults to 1,
+which checks the scope that called the scope calling
+feature::feature_enabled().
+
+croaks for an unknown feature name.
+
+=item features_enabled()
+
+=item features_enabled($depth)
+
+ package ReportEnabledFeatures;
+ use feature "say";
+ sub import {
+ say STDERR join " ", feature::features_enabled();
+ }
+
+Returns a list of the features enabled at a given level in the call
+stack. C<$depth> defaults to 1, which checks the scope that called
+the scope calling feature::features_enabled().
+
+=item feature_bundle()
+
+=item feature_bundle($depth)
+
+Returns the feature bundle, if any, selected at a given level in the
+call stack. C<$depth> defaults to 1, which checks the scope that called
+the scope calling feature::feature_bundle().
+
+Returns an undefined value if no feature bundle is selected in the
+scope.
+
+The bundle name returned will be for the earliest bundle matching the
+selected bundle, so:
+
+ use feature ();
+ use v5.12;
+ BEGIN { print feature::feature_bundle(0); }
+
+will print C<5.11>.
+
+This returns internal state, at this point C<use v5.12;> sets the
+feature bundle, but C< use feature ":5.12"; > does not set the feature
+bundle. This may change in a future release of perl.
