replace ANY with @nospecialize annotation. part of #11339

@@ -13,6 +13,9 @@ Language changes
   * The syntax `1.+2` is deprecated, since it is ambiguous: it could mean either
     `1 .+ 2` (the current meaning) or `1. + 2` ([#19089]).
 
+  * Declaring arguments as `x::ANY` to avoid specialization has been replaced
+    by `@nospecialize x`, which needs to be imported from `Base`. ([#22666]).
