+// Package goexperiment implements support for toolchain experiments.
+//
+// Toolchain experiments are controlled by the GOEXPERIMENT
+// environment variable. GOEXPERIMENT is a comma-separated list of
+// experiment names. GOEXPERIMENT can be set at make.bash time, which
+// sets the default experiments for binaries built with the tool
+// chain; or it can be set at build time. GOEXPERIMENT can also be set
+// to "none", which disables any experiments that were enabled at
+// make.bash time.
+//
+// Experiments are exposed to the build in the following ways:
+//
+// - Build tag goexperiment.x is set if experiment x (lower case) is
+// enabled.
+//
+// - For each experiment x (in camel case), this package contains a
+// boolean constant x and an integer constant xInt.
+//
+// - In runtime assembly, the macro GOEXPERIMENT_x is defined if
+// experiment x (lower case) is enabled.
+//
+// In the toolchain, the set of experiments enabled for the current
+// build should be accessed via objabi.Experiment.
+//
+// The set of experiments is included in the output of runtime.Version()
+// and "go version <binary>" if it differs from the default experiments.
+//
+// For the set of experiments supported by the current toolchain, see
+// "go doc goexperiment.Flags".
+//
+// Note that this package defines the set of experiments (in Flags)
+// and records the experiments that were enabled when the package
+// was compiled (as boolean and integer constants).
+//
+// Note especially that this package does not itself change behavior
+// at run time based on the GOEXPERIMENT variable.
+// The code used in builds to interpret the GOEXPERIMENT variable
+// is in the separate package internal/buildcfg.

+// Flags is the set of experiments that can be enabled or disabled in
+// the current toolchain.
+//
+// When specified in the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable or as build
+// tags, experiments use the strings.ToLower of their field name.
+//
+// For the baseline experimental configuration, see
+// objabi.experimentBaseline.
+//
+// If you change this struct definition, run "go generate".
