+# * Our basic warnings cover most things and make warnings into errors.
+# * If a warning is (transitively) enabled by our basic warnings, do not include it separately.
+# * For warnings not enabled by our basic warnings, add them to the extra warnings.
+# * To change a warning-as-error into just a warning, add it to the ignorable warnings using the
+#   format `-Wno-error=<warning>`.
+# * To disable a warning completely, add it to the disabled warnings using the format
+#   `-Wno-<warning>`.
