Documentation needed for PR18666
(with my PSC hat on)

Hi all,

PR#18666 - https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18666 - is a small change
to perl core which makes the `use VERSION` syntax enable `use
warnings`, when the requested version is high enough (i.e. something
beyond 5.35.0).

The change itself is implemented and has tests, but the PR so far has
no documentation. While I'm sure leont, myself, or some other regular
core contributor could write this, it would also be an excellent
opportunity for any new people who want to dip their toes into some
core perl work. It would get your name into the `AUTHORS` section, and
give you a good first step into getting involved.

Does anyone feel like writing some documentation for this?

If this has not been spoken for, I am happy to do it. Maybe mid-week before
I can give it a first-look.
