  def caveats; <<-EOS.undent
    GNU GLOBAL is distributed with a PHP parser generated with an
    old version of flex(1). That parser has some limitation. See:
      http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.global.bugs/1439

    Installing GNU GLOBAL with Homebrew will therefor rebuild the
    PHP parser using Mac OS X' newer version of flex(1) which
    generates a parser without the limit.

    You can install GNU GLOBAL without rebuilding the PHP parser
    (and instead use the parser distributed by GNU GLOBAL) by using
    the option '--without-rebuilding-php-parser':

      brew install global --without-rebuilding-php-parser

    Use i.e. if you want to be sure whether a problem is caused by
    the rebuild parser or some other thing in GNU GLOBAL.
