+Using libc++experimental and ``<experimental/...>``
+=====================================================
 
+Libc++ provides implementations of experimental technical specifications
+in a separate library, ``libc++experimental.a``. Users of ``<experimental/...>``

+Libc++experimental.a may not always be available, even when libc++ is already

+:ref:`Building Libc++ <build instructions>` and

+  Experimental libraries are Experimental.
+    * The contents of the ``<experimental/...>`` headers and ``libc++experimental.a``
+      library will not remain compatible between versions.
+    * No guarantees of API or ABI stability are provided.
