-* (XXX: this should be combined with :gh:`93274` when that is done)
+* API for creating objects that can be called using
+  :ref:`the vectorcall protocol <vectorcall>` was added to the
+  :ref:`Limited API <stable>`:

+  * :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`

+  * :c:func:`PyVectorcall_Call`
+  * :c:type:`vectorcallfunc`
+
   The :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL` flag is now removed from a class
   when the class's :py:meth:`~object.__call__` method is reassigned.
   This makes vectorcall safe to use with mutable types (i.e. heap types
   without the :const:`immutable <Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE>` flag).
   Mutable types that do not override :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_call` now
-  inherit the :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL` flag.
