+// creation, then for the lifetime of the a process they are constant. Swift
+// 5.10 flags the generated `_protobuf_nameMap` usages as a problem
+// (https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf/issues/1560) so this silences those
+// warnings since the usage has been deemed safe.
+//
+// https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf/issues/1561 is also opened to revisit
+// the `_NameMap` generally as it dates back to the days before Swift perferred
+// the UTF-8 internal encoding.
