//! Memory writes through the sanitizer (M5b spec, sections 6.3 and 7): a text that breaks a refuse //! rule is refused with the rule's sentence and nothing is written; an identity write that matches //! a flag rule is saved in `notes.md` as an untrusted note and never reaches the file or the block; //! a note that matches is marked untrusted; the journal names the rule; the block leaves out an //! entry that breaks a refuse rule, and only such an entry.
