 This function is called to determine if copilot should attach to the buffer or not.
 It is useful if you would like to go beyond the filetypes and have more control over when copilot should attach.
+You can also use it to attach to buflisted buffers by simply omiting that portion from the function.
 Since this happens before attaching to the buffer, it is good to prevent Copilot from reading sensitive files.
 
 An example of this would be:
