* Not recommended as it'll likely increase the total indexing time and defeat the purpose of using custom commands, but should be an option for convenience. Also, mention the default (of not applying ignore options) more explicitly in the docs to reduce the number of unnecessary bug reports. * Add a note about E706. |
