+
+The `go.mod` [file has a number of directives](https://go.dev/doc/modules/gomod-ref) other than require and replace which we parse but discard:

+- toolchain - Specifies the toolchain to use during compilation. 
+- tool - Developer tools that should be imported with the project. Developer tools are excluded by default.
+- godebug - Specifies default GODEBUG settings.
+
