+Using `x` rather than `x.py` is recommended as:
+
+> `./x` is the most likely to work on every system (on Unix it runs the shell script
+> that does python version detection, on Windows it will probably run the
+> powershell script - certainly less likely to break than `./x.py` which often just
+> opens the file in an editor).[^1]
+
+Notice that this is not absolute, for instance, using Nushell in VSCode on Win10,
+typing `x` or `./x` still open the `x.py` in editor rather invoke the program :)
+
+In the rest of documents, we use `x` to represent the straightly usage of `x.py`, which
+means the following command:
+
+```bash
+./x check
+```
+
+could be replaced by:
+
+```bash
+./x.py check


this confuses the global x binary with the local ./x shell script. This section is about the global binary.

It's fine to add this paragraph, but please put it in the section above, "Running x.py".
