+# Clang may emit a warning when a const variable, such as the dummy variables
+# in typecheck(), or const member of an aggregate type are not initialized,
+# which can result in unexpected behavior. However, in many audited cases of
+# the "field" variant of the warning, this is intentional because the field is
+# never used within a particular call path, the field is within a union with
+# other non-const members, or the containing object is not const so the field
+# can be modified via memcpy() / memset(). While the variable warning also gets
+# disabled with this same switch, there should not be too much coverage lost
+# because -Wuninitialized will still flag when an uninitialized const variable
+# is used.
