		Type-safety rules for the PHP we wrote: native property and constant types, and short
		array syntax.
		phpstan (level 6) owns parameter/return/value types; this owns what phpstan cannot say
		— a property or constant must be a native declaration, not a bare @var — and the [] vs array()
		style phpstan does not judge. Everything that ships verbatim from the adminer release
		is excluded: it keeps its own conventions and is not ours to report on.
