I haven't found that useful in my experience. Maybe delay it when the need emerges.

@since 2.13.17
It seems we don't have such an annotation --- it's available as a parameter for @deprecated. Or, maybe I have missed something.

I mean add it to the Scala doc.

Scala has a divergent philosophy about compatibility. Someone could do a master's thesis on how mixed projects cope.
I think the semantics of --release would be doctoral level. Programmers need to know what API to code against, builds need to know which runtimes they support.
Add
StringBuilder.appendCodePointto support dealing with surrogate code points.My use case: when parsing an escaped string in a language, we advance code point by code point on the raw string to properly handle Unicode. It will be convenient to have
appendCodePointsuch that we can assemble the code points in the final string.
