+The files here use the LLVM FileCheck framework, documented at
+<https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/FileCheck.html>.
+
+One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for
+FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen
+target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a
+revisions annotation, like so:
+
+```rust
+// revisions: aaa bbb
+// [bbb] compile-flags: --flags-for-bbb
+```
+
+After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or
+explicitly *unexpected* output by using `<prefix>-SAME:` and `<prefix>-NOT:`,
+like so:
+
+```rust
+// CHECK: expected code
+// aaa-SAME: emitted-only-for-aaa
+// aaa-NOT: emitted-only-for-bbb
+// bbb-NOT: emitted-only-for-aaa
+// bbb-SAME: emitted-only-for-bbb
+```
