+ * @section avoptions_scope Scope of AVOptions
+ *
+ * AVOptions is designed to support any set of multimedia configuration options
+ * that can be defined at compile-time.  Although it is mainly used to expose
+ * FFmpeg options, you are welcome to adapt it to your own use case.
+ *
+ * No single approach can ever fully solve the problem of configuration,
+ * but please submit a patch if you believe you have found a problem
+ * that is best solved by extending AVOptions.
+ *
  * @section avoptions_implement Implementing AVOptions
  * This section describes how to add AVOptions capabilities to a struct.
