=head1 Notice
[ List each incompatible change as a =head2 entry ]
-=head2 Delimiters must now be graphemes
-
-See L<perldeprecation/Use of unassigned code point or non-standalone grapheme for a delimiter.>
-
-=head2 Some formerly deprecated uses of an unescaped left brace C<"{">
-in regular expression patterns are now illegal
-
-But to avoid breaking code unnecessarily, most instances that issued a
-deprecation warning, remain legal and now have a non-deprecation warning
-raised. See L<perldeprecation/Unescaped left braces in regular
-expressions>.

=item *
-Translating from UTF-8 into the code point it represents now is done via
-a deterministic finite automaton, speeding it up. As a typical example,
-C<ord("\x7fff")> now requires 12% fewer instructions than before.
-The performance of checking that a sequence of bytes is valid UTF-8 is
-similarly improved, again by using a dfa.
