Would it make sense to throw in a soon-to-be-stable (or
already-stable-but-beyond-min-rust-version) feature here to not have to
remove the build system support for unstable feature directly?

For example, I know that const_refs_to_static might be added here
soon-ish.

I think this actually allow all features instead of allowing none.
