Description
Unless I'm blind, I cannot find any discussion of negative impls. It is in the grammar, and mentioned briefly in the special types page. I think there should be a section in the implementations page.
EDIT: Oh, I'm just silly. Negative impls are not stable. However, since they are a part of the stable grammar, it should probably have at least some minor callout.

Research direction
Start with src/items/implementations.md and compare its treatment of negative impls with the grammar and the special types page. Add a brief callout explaining that negative impls are unstable despite appearing in the stable grammar, and verify that the implementations page clearly covers the topic.
