Comment (by guest):

 + to informative comment

 - to unwritable files, they're just annoying (eg: if you want to use `rm
 -r` rather than `rm -rf` because it has warning messages.  Or if you know
 (for whatever reason) that you actually do want to edit `ghc.cabal`.)  It
 doesn't seem to be the convention to make all generated files
 unwritable... But others could have a different opinion from me.
