 /* The scratchpad patch allows you to spawn or restore floating terminal windows.
 * It is typically useful when one need to do some short typing.
+ *
+ * Note that this patch changes TAGMASK to make room for special scratchpad tags,
+ * so ~0 does more than select all tags with this patch. Code that relies on ~0 to
+ * represent all tags should use ~SPTAGMASK instead.
+ *
 * Upgraded to Christian Tenllado's multiple scratchpad version.
