 ## Supported features
 
+* Implicit keywords arguments or named tuples is supported using the `@compat` macro, e.g. `@compat f(; x, f.p)` and `@compat (; x, f.p)` is equivalent to `f(; x=x, p=f.p)` and `(; x=x, f.p)` respectively. ([#34331])
+
 * `get` accepts tuples and numbers ([#41007], [#41032]) (since Compat 3.31)
 
 * `muladd(A,B,z)` now accepts arrays ([#37065]) (since Compat 3.30)
