thought: As long as this method is not fully portable, maybe we should not expose it in the public API? Or at least add @[Experimental].
It would also be helpful to clarify which systems are expected to give an actual answer. It we make it nodoc for now, this information can be added later once we fill the TODOs.

IMO support on all Tier 1 platforms + Windows is sufficient for removing @[Experimental], otherwise it would take forever to stabilize any kind of system API in the standard library (consider our current progress on WebAssembly for example).
