+# We want fancy syntax highlighting on GitHub, though GitHub doesn't know how
+# to speak Gleam. Until it does (maybe one day!) we'll tell GitHub that these
+# files are Rust, which has a similar enough syntax for the highlighting to
+# work in most cases.
+# The only caveat is that we need to add a `;` after each use of the `type`
+# keyword as our type syntax is different to theirs in a way that confuses
+# GitHub.
