+# Please enter the information relevant to your problem/suite/generator.
+#
+# Instructions:
+# - Fields that are not relevant can be removed (delete the whole line), or left empty.
+# - Enter 'unknown' for fields where the value is unknown.
+# - If multiple suggested values are relevant, include all those that fit.
+# - Suggested values for fields are recommendations. If they are not a good fit, feel free to add something else (and ideally, explain why).
+# - If some property is present, it does not have to apply to all problems/variables.
