Our docs describe static methods as Class Methods which seems
idiosyncratic for JavaScript. Align with MDN which calls them static
methods.

JSON format for our docs will still use the key name `classMethods` for
this. I would like to change it to `staticMethods` but I don't know if
that will break things for consumers. So, leaving it alone. It's a
machine-consumable label more than a human-readable so I can live with

ECMAScript Modules - Experimental Warning Removal:
- module: remove experimental modules warning
(Guy Bedford) [#31974](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31974)
In Node.js 13 we removed the need to include the --experimental-modules
flag, but when running EcmaScript Modules in Node.js, this would still
result in a warning ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is
experimental.
As of Node.js 14 there is no longer this warning when using ESM in
Node.js. However, the ESM implementation in Node.js remains
experimental. As per our stability index: “The feature is not subject
to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes or
removal may occur in any future release.” Users should be cautious when
using the feature in production environments.
Please keep in mind that the implementation of ESM in Node.js differs
from the developer experience you might be familiar with. Most
transpilation workflows support features such as optional file
extensions or JSON modules that the Node.js ESM implementation does not
support. It is highly likely that modules from transpiled environments
will require a certain degree of refactoring to work in Node.js. It is
worth mentioning that many of our design decisions were made with two
primary goals. Spec compliance and Web Compatibility. It is our belief
that the current implementation offers a future proof model to
authoring ESM modules that paves the path to Universal JavaScript.
Please read more in our documentation.
The ESM implementation in Node.js is still experimental but we do believe
that we are getting very close to being able to call ESM in Node.js
“stable”. Removing the warning is a huge step in that direction.

This is only active if the `showHidden` option is truthy.
The implementation is a trade-off between accuracy and performance.
This will miss properties such as properties added to built-in data
types.
The goal is mainly to visualize prototype getters and setters such as:
class Foo {
ownProperty = true
get bar() {
return 'Hello world!'
}
}
const a = new Foo()
The `bar` property is a non-enumerable property on the prototype while
`ownProperty` will be set directly on the created instance.
The output is similar to the one of Chromium when inspecting objects
closer. The output from Firefox is difficult to compare, since it's
always a structured interactive output and was therefore not taken
into account.
