 ### Locals
 
+Note: pay specific attention to the captures here as they are a bit different to
+those listed in the upstream [Local Variables
+docs](https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#local-variables).
+Some of these docs didn't exist when `nvim-treesitter` was created and the
+upstream captures are more limiting than what we have here.
