* The rule should not delete distributed/git-tracked files.

* This messes less with syntax highlighting.

* See a later commit for actual improvements regarding collective
  access.

* Unfortunately, C array parameters cannot have the restrict attribute
  thus better document the array characteristic and let the compiler

* The second dimension of rect has indeed as many dimensions as
  appropriate for the array being written, i.e. 2 or 3 depending on
  whether a z-axis exists.

* These variables are checked via the JSON files in PIO control setups
  and should not change type unless necessary. Consistency is not a
  necessity.
