=head2 The 'say' feature
-C<use feature 'say'> tells the compiler to enable the Perl 6 style
+C<use feature 'say'> tells the compiler to enable the Raku-inspired
C<say> function.
See L<perlfunc/say> for details.
no warnings "experimental::smartmatch";
-C<use feature 'switch'> tells the compiler to enable the Perl 6
+C<use feature 'switch'> tells the compiler to enable the Raku
given/when construct.
See L<perlsyn/"Switch Statements"> for details.
This feature is available from Perl 5.26 onwards.
+=head2 The 'isa' feature
+
+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.
+
+=head2 The 'indirect' feature
+
+This feature allows the use of L<indirect object
+syntax|perlobj/Indirect Object Syntax> for method calls, e.g. C<new
+Foo 1, 2;>. It is enabled by default, but can be turned off to
+disallow indirect object syntax.
+
+This feature is available under this name from Perl 5.32 onwards. In
+previous versions, it was simply on all the time. To disallow (or
+warn on) indirect object syntax on older Perls, see the L<indirect>
+CPAN module.
+
+=head2 The 'multidimensional' feature
+
+This feature enables multidimensional array emulation, a perl 4 (or
+earlier) feature that was used to emulate multidimensional arrays with
+hashes. This works by converting code like C<< $foo{$x, y} >> into
+C<< $foo{join($;, $x, $y} >>. It is enabled by default, but can be
+turned off to disable multidimensional array emulation.
+
+When this feature is disabled the syntax that is normally replaced
+will report a compilation error.
+
+This feature is available under this name from Perl 5.34 onwards. In
+previous versions, it was simply on all the time.
+
+You can use the L<multidimensional> module on CPAN to disable
+multidimensional array emulation for older versions of Perl.
