+Issues
+------
+Before reporting an issue, see if a similar issue is already open.
+Also check if a similar issue was recently closed — your bug might
+have been fixed already.
+
+To have your issue dealt with promptly, it's best to construct a
+[minimal working example] that exposes the issue in a clear and
+reproducible manner.
