+  When set to any positive integer, ALE will not render any more than the
+  given number of signs for any one buffer.
+
+  When set to `0`, no signs will be set, but sign processing will still be
+  done, so existing signs can be removed.
+
+  When set to any other value, no limit will be imposed on the number of signs
+  set.
