For future travelers, track the progress of type annotations over at
[1]. There's still discussion on how these will be implemented in Clang.

Hi again future travelers, sanitizer special case list support for
overflow/truncation sanitizers as well as the "=sanitize" comes from a
new Clang 20 feature allowing SCL's to specify sanitize categories, see [2].
