Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 In some cases such as features merged from Gutenberg, a feature-specific
 function may not exist to use `function_exists`.

 By providing a feature compat constant, plugins can then detect and not
 load code for tat feature(s).

 Adding a version number to the feature compat allows the feature plugin to
 continue feature development by overriding what's in core and loading its
 code instead. This would mean that the files/code in core when merged
 would need to check against this feature compat before loading the
 files/code into memory.
