+Type: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])
+
+The `node:repl` module exports a `builtinModules` property that contains an array
+of built-in modules. This was incomplete and matched the already deprecated
+`repl._builtinLibs` ([DEP0142][]) instead it's better to rely
+upon `require('node:module').builtinModules`.
