 You can also configure your fixers from vimrc using `g:ale_fixers`, before or
-after ALE has been loaded. A `*` in place of the filetype will apply the
-corresponding list of fixers to all filetypes. If a subsequent specific filetype
-match is found it will be used instead of `*`. Note that using a plain list for
-`g:ale_fixers` is not supported.
