+//|
+//|    To prevent this problem, drive the the input pin with a strong signal that can overcome
+//|    the leakage current. If you need to use a pull-down,
+//|    connect a strong external pull-down resistor that is 8.2k ohms or less.
+//|
+//|    The internal pull-down resistor (``digitalio.DigitalInOut.pull = digitalio.Pull.DOWN``)
+//|    is not strong enough, and is not useful.
+//|
+//|    Typical push-pull outputs from attached peripherals or other microcontrollers will drive
+//|    input pins adequately, with no resistor needed.
+//|
+//|    There is no problem when pull-ups are used, even weak ones. Using the internal pull-up resistor
+//|    (``digitalioDigitalInOut.pull = digitalio.Pull.UP``) will work fine.
