+   Setting ``feature_version`` to a tuple ``(major, minor)`` will result in
+   a "best-effort" attempt to parse using that Python version's grammar.
+   For example, setting ``feature_version=(3, 9)`` will attempt to disallow
+   parsing of :keyword:`match` statements.
+   Currently ``major`` must equal to ``3``. The lowest supported version is
+   ``(3, 4)`` (and this may increase in future Python versions);
+   the highest is ``sys.version_info[0:2]``. "Best-effort" attempt means there
+   is no guarantee that the parse (or success of the parse) is the same as
+   when run on the Python version corresponding to ``feature_version``.
