My point is this is a inline function and can not be placed in the .map file as a external API. These simple type of APIs are easy to prove and making them experimental seems to just cause an extra step. If the functions are not required that is a different problem or if the API is really only ever used by a single function or module of files then it should be moved to the module/file and made locate to the module/file.
