-> [!NOTE]
-> An additional field, `line_types` can also be set on a language's attributes. It has been excluded because
-> it is not necessary for the majority of languages. By default, only a language's lines of code are counted, but this
-> field can be used to count other lines, too. For example, `line_types: [code, comments]`. This is useful in languages
-> like Markdown, where the significant lines are mostly comments. A list of available fields to be used can be found in
-> [tokei's documentation](https://docs.rs/tokei/latest/tokei/struct.Language.html#fields).
