 * Do not submit snippets of code as a "patch". Exceptions can be made for trivial changes (correct a typo, fix a single line of code...), but otherwise, a successfully compiled & fully tested patch file is required when submitting for review.
 * Do not make code changes in unrelated areas; i.e., do not run code linters and auto-formatters for parts of the code that you didn't modify.
   * Note: there are no strict rules for code formatting, but please attempt to emulate the style around the code you are modifying.
