 By default, `comment-variables` excludes your config file and all the (JavaScript/TypeScript) files it recursively imports. This flag cancels this mechanism, linting config imports. (The config file however still remains excluded from linting.)

 By default, `comment-variables` includes a preset list of ignored folders (`"node_modules"`, `".next"`, `".react-router"`...). This flag cancels this mechanism so that you can have full control over your ignored files and folders.

+Aside from the config flag, all other flags (`--lint-config-imports`, `--my-ignores-only`) should be included in the config so that they can be shared across the CLI and the extension within a single source of truth, invalidating the need to scream " (And DON'T FORGET YOUR FLAGS!)".
+This didn't come to mind originally because the idea of these flags came into play before I reliably made the VS Code extension.
+The goal therefore becomes that ONLY the config path remains the SOLE available flag for the CLI and config option for the extension that users will have to manage manually across both solutions.
