@STRICT_EQUIVALENT_MODULES
@WARNINGS_EQUIVALENT_MODULES

As the names suggest, these are lists of modules that are equivalent to applying the strict or warnings pragma when loaded. At the moment, both lists are exactly the same. Note: These lists are not exhaustive; they only include the most commonly used modules. Policies that use these lists should permit configuration of additional modules.
