How about flagging experimental features in a way that config could
warn/ignore/reject experimental options depending on command line flags?
I guess we could even go as far as making config in releases default to
reject experimental features?

Obviously the fact that a feature is experimental would need documenting
somewhere too (either the man page, or perhaps the GENERIC config file).
