-> [!WARNING]
-> Arbitrarily-set configuration options can clash with compiler-set configuration options. For example, it is possible to do `rustc --cfg "unix" program.rs` while compiling to a Windows target, and have both `unix` and `windows` configuration options set at the same time. Doing this would be unwise.
