+            The implementation before fixing KT-52243 considered the cinterop task as *not* up-to-date
+            when it was previously running in the IDE and therefore failing leniently. It would have always tried to re-run
+            this task to anticipate untracked environmental changes.
+
+            This cannot be easily implemented whilst also fixing KT-52243, which is more desirable.
+            A new mechanism for 'run tasks at import' leniency is proposed (using --continue), which is supposed to replace
+            the special cinterop mechanism.
