+	// lint-staged does not allow running concurrent tasks for the same extension, because multiple
+	// tasks might modify the same files. This doesn't apply to us because only one task modifies
+	// files (the linter task) while others only notify about errors. So to go around this we add
+	// this fake extension "task?" to make lint-staged think those are different extension tasks
+	// that can run in parallel.
