+ * Module-augmentable interface that lets consumers opt in to typed support for

+ * by design, MUI slot prop types do not include arbitrary `data-*` keys; the
+ * augmentation is the single switch consumers can flip to choose their level
+ * of strictness.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ *
+ *     // Strongly-typed: only `data-testid` becomes assignable on slots.
+ *     declare module '@mui/utils/types' {
+ *       interface DataAttributesOverrides {
+ *         'data-testid'?: string;
+ *       }
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     // Loose: accept any `data-*` key on slots.
+ *     declare module '@mui/utils/types' {
+ *       interface DataAttributesOverrides {
+ *         [k: `data-${string}`]: string | number | boolean | undefined;
+ *       }
+ *     }
