When adding new APIs to a v1+ library, the new APIs should be marked experimental and require some sort of flag to use.

This allows for new APIs to bake before having the experimental flag removed and stability guarantees introduced.

Very few languages actually allow for that sort of thing.

You can document it as well, language support is nice but not required.
