+   This is implemented as up to two mypy runs internally. The first run

+This can be useful in Continuous Integration jobs if you'd prefer not
+to manage stub packages manually. This is somewhat slower than
+explicitly installing stubs before running mypy, since it may type
+check your code twice -- the first time to find the missing stubs, and
+the second time to type check your code properly after mypy has
+installed the stubs.
