In-progress API messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These messages are provided for testing and experimentation only.
They are *not* subject to any compatibility process,
and therefore can arbitrarily change or disappear at *any* moment.
Also they may have less than satisfactory testing, making
them unsuitable for other use than the technology preview.

please collaborate with the feature maintainer on their productization.
