 Note that `not_composable.cpp` instantiates a `rclcpp::Node` _without_ subclassing it.
 This was the typical usage model in ROS 1, but this style of coding is not compatible with composing multiple nodes into a single process.

 The following examples `wait_set_subscriber.cpp`, `static_wait_set_subscriber.cpp` and `time_triggered_wait_set_subscriber.cpp` show how to use a subscription in a node using a `rclcpp` wait-set.
 This is not a common use case in ROS 2 so this is not the recommended strategy to  use by-default.
 This strategy makes sense in some specific situations, for example when the developer needs to have more control over callback order execution, to create custom triggering conditions or to use the timeouts provided by the  wait-sets.

+The example `content_filtering.cpp` shows how to use the content filtering feature for Subscriptions.
