Reword mutant exclude comment
Fix the comment for an mutant exclude as a follow up to the PR where it
was added.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only rewords a comment in a configuration file used for mutation testing. No code behavior was changed, so there is no security impact.
No action needed; this is a documentation-only change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff changes a single line in .cargo/mutants.toml, replacing the comment for an exclude_re entry with a slightly more detailed explanation. The excluded pattern and all other configuration remain identical. No executable code, logic, or dependencies were modified.
