Description
The regex_sets feature is mentioned in experimental but, as far as I can find, nowhere documented.

That was with perl 5.38.2, but I searched for 'regex_sets' in perlre, perlrebackslash, perlrecharclass, and perlreref at https://perldoc.perl.org/5.40.2/perl#Reference-Manual
If the feature is documented anywhere, please add a reference to that place in the pod for experimental (e.g. "See ...") and mention the soon-to-be-no-longer-required use experimental "regex_sets"; at the place so that tag can be used to find it.
