Subject: [PATCH] introduce an "experimental mode"

this is a compile time switch with the intention to be able to more
easily turn experimental features that are not yet considered to be
production quality on and off. DUNE has a similar mechanism (i.e., the
`DUNE_GRID_EXPERIMENTAL_GRID_EXTENSIONS` macro), but it relies on
the preprocessor.

For now, the property does not have any effect.
