+	// * Additional field tags can be specified on a field that will ignore certain values
+	//   for the purpose of common value optimization. A value that is ignored must have the
+	//   default value for the property type. This is to ensure that significant value are not
+	//   ignored by accident. The purpose of this is to allow the snapshot generation to reflect
+	//   the behavior of the runtime. e.g. if a property is ignored on the host then a property
+	//   that is common for android can be treated as if it was common for android and host as
+	//   the setting for host is ignored anyway.
+	//   * `sdk:"ignored-on-host" - this indicates the property is ignored on the host variant.

 	// * The sdk module type populates the BpModule structure, creating the arch specific
 	//   structure and calls AddToPropertySet(...) on the properties struct to add the member
 	//   specific properties in the correct place in the structure.
