Support of MSGF+ may not be full.  There exist known issues with the way
MSGF+ encodes some modifications in pep.xml that may not be correct.  Also,
high-scoring DECOY have been observed in MSGF+ analysis.  The users are
encouraged to be vigilant in comparing model estimated error-rates to the
DECOY-estimated error-rates to make sure the two agree and set CLEVEL
parameter accordingly see:
