+//  This checker adds an assumption that constant string-like globals are
+//  non-null, as otherwise they generally do not convey any useful information.
+//  The assumption is useful, as many framework use such global const strings,
+//  and the analyzer might not be able to infer the global value if the
+//  definition is in a separate translation unit.
+//  The following types (and their typedef aliases) are considered string-like:
+//   - `char* const`
+//   - `const CFStringRef` from CoreFoundation
+//   - `NSString* const` from Foundation
+//
