It feels like back when the file was introduced I already commented on
the potential for it to be multi-use, so long as it's actually dealing
with the slightly separate needs. IOW I think it can be one file, but
it needs to allow for files that want excluding from rule checkers, but
not from style ones, and vice versa. Whether specific "comment" wording
would be suitable, or whether instead separate attributes would want
introducing is TBD.
