+Registers the `fn` function to be run after the test has finished. You can register multiple functions and they'll run in order<sup>†</sup>. You can use asynchronous functions: only one will run at a time.
 
 You cannot perform assertions using the `t` object or register additional functions from inside `fn`.
 
 You cannot use `t.teardown()` in hooks either.
 
+<sup>†</sup> In the next major release we'll change this so teardown functions run in reverse order. The last registered function will be called first. You can opt in to this behavior now by enabling the `reverseTeardowns` experiment.

 ## `t.timeout(ms)`
 
 Set a timeout for the test, in milliseconds. The test will fail if this timeout is exceeded. The timeout is reset each time an assertion is made.
