I changed only program elements annotated with `@Beta` because changing others is not a backward-compatible change.

Evolving should have been annotated with @Sealed rather than @Evolving, but the idea of @Sealed did not come at that time, and now it will be a breaking change, even though one may be quite sure that no one extended Evolving.
