The choice of a `<p>` paragraph rather than `@apiNote` is for consistency with
similar commentary paragraphs in the specs of `CASE_INSENSITIVE`,
`UNICODE_CASE`, and `UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS`.
I have no problems in using `@apiNote` instead, but then it would be better to
apply the same for the other mentioned flags as well.
