 `rustc` accepts the `--check-cfg` option, which specifies whether to check conditions and how to

 ## Well known names and values
 
 `rustc` has a internal list of well known names and their corresponding values.
 Those well known names and values follows the same stability as what they refer to.
 
-Well known values checking is always enabled as long as a `--check-cfg` argument is present.
+Well known names and values checking is always enabled as long as at least one
+`--check-cfg` argument is present.
+
+As of `2024-01-09T`, the list of known names is as follows:
+
+<!--- See CheckCfg::fill_well_known in compiler/rustc_session/src/config.rs -->
+
+ - `debug_assertions`
+ - `doc`
+ - `doctest`
+ - `miri`
+ - `overflow_checks`
+ - `panic`
+ - `proc_macro`
+ - `relocation_model`
+ - `sanitize`
+ - `sanitizer_cfi_generalize_pointers`
+ - `sanitizer_cfi_normalize_integers`

+| `--cfg foo=""`                | `--check-cfg=cfg(foo, values(""))`                         |

+| `--cfg foo --cfg foo="bar"`   | `--check-cfg=cfg(foo) --check-cfg=cfg(foo, values("bar"))` |
 
-## Examples
+NOTE: There is (currently) no way to express that a condition name is expected but no (!= none)
+values are expected. Passing an empty `values()` means *(none)* in the sense of `#[cfg(foo)]`
+with no value. Users are expected to NOT pass a `--check-cfg` with that condition name.
+
+### Example: Cargo-like `feature` example
 
 Consider this command line:
 
 ```bash
 rustc --check-cfg 'cfg(feature, values("lion", "zebra"))' \
-      --cfg 'feature="lion"' -Z unstable-options \
-      example.rs
+      --cfg 'feature="lion"' -Z unstable-options example.rs
 ```
 
 This command line indicates that this crate has two features: `lion` and `zebra`. The `lion`
-feature is enabled, while the `zebra` feature is disabled. Exhaustive checking of names and
-values are enabled by default. Consider compiling this code:
+feature is enabled, while the `zebra` feature is disabled.
+Given the `--check-cfg` arguments, exhaustive checking of names and
+values are enabled.
 
+`example.rs`:
 ```rust
-// This is expected, and tame_lion() will be compiled
-#[cfg(feature = "lion")]
+#[cfg(feature = "lion")]     // This condition is expected, as "lion" is an expected value of `feature`
 fn tame_lion(lion: Lion) {}
 
-// This is expected, and ride_zebra() will NOT be compiled.
-#[cfg(feature = "zebra")]
-fn ride_zebra(zebra: Zebra) {}
+#[cfg(feature = "zebra")]    // This condition is expected, as "zebra" is an expected value of `feature`
+                             // but the condition will still evaluate to false
+                             // since only --cfg feature="lion" was passed
+fn ride_zebra(z: Zebra) {}
 
-// This is UNEXPECTED, and will cause a compiler warning (by default).
-#[cfg(feature = "platypus")]
+#[cfg(feature = "platypus")] // This condition is UNEXPECTED, as "platypus" is NOT an expected value of
+                             // `feature` and will cause a compiler warning (by default).
 fn poke_platypus() {}
 
-// This is UNEXPECTED, because 'feechure' is not a known condition name,
-// and will cause a compiler warning (by default).
-#[cfg(feechure = "lion")]
+#[cfg(feechure = "lion")]    // This condition is UNEXPECTED, as 'feechure' is NOT a expected condition
+                             // name, no `cfg(feechure, ...)` was passed in `--check-cfg`
 fn tame_lion() {}
 
-// This is UNEXPECTED, because 'windows' is a well known condition name,
-// and because 'windows' doesn't take any values,
-// and will cause a compiler warning (by default).
-#[cfg(windows = "unix")]
+#[cfg(windows = "unix")]     // This condition is UNEXPECTED, as while 'windows' is a well known
