+### Force `from __future__ import annotations` import
+
+The plugin, by default, will only report a TC100 error, if annotations
+contain references to typing only symbols. If you want to enforce a more
+consistent style and use a future import in every file that makes use
+of annotations, you can enable this setting.
+
+When `force-future-annotation` is enabled, the plugin will flag all
+files that contain annotations but not future import.

 If you use Pydantic models in your code, you should enable Pydantic support.
