I was poking around the Wolfram Research FAQ web pages and went to
http://support.wolfram.com/Kernel/Symbols/Developer/index.html
and 
http://support.wolfram.com/Kernel/Symbols/Experimental/index.html

There I found what looks like lists of all symbols in the Experimental and
Developer contexts.  Several of the symbols listed there aren't documented
in the Help Browser, but I was able to figure out how to use two of them.
Below I demonstrate two of these undocumented features.  I couldn't figure
out any of the other undocumented symbols listed at the above URLs.  If you
can figure them out please let me know.
