+# Initially I wanted to build a slim image using this Dockerfile and static linking.
+# It would use something like this in Cargo.toml:
+#
+# [build-dependencies.clang]
+# version = "2.0.0"
+# default-features = false
+# features = ["static"]
+#
+# [build-dependencies.clang-sys]
+# version = "1.7.0"
+# default-features = false
+# features = ["clang_16_0", "static"]
+#
+# But there are a lot of problems with static linking and clang & clang-sys crates:
+# - https://github.com/KyleMayes/clang-sys/issues/174
+# - https://github.com/KyleMayes/clang-rs/issues/17
+# - https://github.com/KyleMayes/clang-sys/issues/148 (this is the one I *like* the most!)
+#
+# So, no static linking for now, but I don't wanna erase all this gorgeous Dockerfile code, so... I'll let it linger
+# in the repo for now.
