+# -- Sphinx 7.4 workaround

+# Sphinx 7.4 introduced a warning when symbols would have the current module as prefix, which
+# autosummary does. This was meant to be fixed by 7.4.6 and 7.4.7, but apparently not in my
+# case.
+# TODO(ab): remove when fixed in Sphinx. When doing so, force sphinx to >=${FIXED_VERSION}
