Per WordNet (which is about American English):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell wordnet -- wn sequel -over

Overview of noun sequel

The noun sequel has 2 senses (no senses from tagged texts)
                                       
1. sequel, subsequence -- (something that follows something else)
2. sequel, continuation -- (a part added to a book or play that continues and extends it)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

>> Maybe something more like "Note: In this document, ..." ?

If that sounds clearer, let’s do that!

Cc’ing maintainers to get their approval.
