See #15583 (comment)
There are a few remaining issues with this implementation raised at #13309 (comment) and #13309 (comment), and some considered uncertainty around naming / APIs / treatment of selection states between document and block raised at #15583 (comment).
Let's plan to omit this from the upcoming Gutenberg 5.9 release, and aim to include it in the following with revisions to the original #15583.
