 # Common text-editor configuration for Exim
 # http://editorconfig.org/
+#
+# This system sets attributes of the code results of editing, not of
+# how you set up the editor to do some helpful things for you.  It's
+# deliberately limited, to be non-contentious and avoid bloat.
+#
+# In this file, we'll also collect _suggestions_ for text editor configs
+# for various text editors, to better work with what passes for a common
+# style in Exim.  Use, or don't use, those as you see fit.
