This keeps the docs at parity with earlier Perls.

+
+The character set semantics are determined by an enum that is contained
+in this field.  This is still experimental and subject to change, but
+the current interface returns the rules by use of the in-line function
+C<get_regex_charset(const U32 flags)>.  The only currently documented
+value returned from it is REGEX_LOCALE_CHARSET, which is set if
+C<use locale> is in effect. If present in C<< rx->extflags >>
 C<split> will use the locale dependent definition of whitespace under
 when RXf_SKIPWHITE or RXf_WHITE are in effect. Under ASCII whitespace
 is defined as per L<isSPACE|perlapi/isSPACE>, and by the internal
 macros C<is_utf8_space> under UTF-8 and C<isSPACE_LC> under C<use
 locale>.
