 See the overview [features](/overview/#features) and
 [optional features](/overview/#optional-features) to get an idea of
 which feature does what.
 
+Note that some features can be set to `true` if they are `true`/`false`
+feature flag features by prefixing them with `!`. For example the
+`CaseInsensitive` feature can be forced to `false` with `--disable CaseInsensitive`
+and forced to `true` with `--disable '!CaseInsensitive'`. In general
+it isn't a good idea doing this but it may be useful in extremis.

+(Note that `!` is a shell command which you will
+need to escape with single quotes or a backslash on unix like
+platforms.)

 This flag can be useful for debugging and in exceptional circumstances
 (e.g. Google Drive limiting the total volume of Server Side Copies to
 100 GiB/day).
