 		Provides navigation and pathfinding within a collection of [NavigationMesh]es. By default, these will be automatically collected from child [NavigationMeshInstance] nodes, but they can also be added on the fly with [method navmesh_add]. In addition to basic pathfinding, this class also assists with aligning navigation agents with the meshes they are navigating on.
+		[b]Note:[/b] The current navigation system has many known issues and will not always return optimal paths as expected. These issues will be fixed in Godot 4.0.
