+
+## Introduction
+
+This file is still mostly a stub.
+
+## Text format
+
+The project contains an `.editorconfig` file at its root.  Please either ensure
+your editor is taking note of those settings, or cross-check its contents
+with the
+[editorconfig documentation](https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/EditorConfig-Properties)
+, and ensure your editor/IDE's settings match.
