Comment:

 In [changeset:"37431"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37431"
 Docs: Standardize on 'backward compatibility/compatible' nomenclature in
 core inline docs.

 Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward
 compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.

 Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered
 correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

 Props ocean90.
 Fixes #36835.
