+           |advanced type-system, we sometimes end up with seemingly scary signatures.
+           |
+           |Let's see an example using the `map`function:
+           |
+           |${"List(1, 2, 3).map(2 * _) // res: List(2, 4, 6)"}
+           |
+           |It's very straight forward to understand and use, but has such a scary signature:
+           |
+           |$noUsecase
+           |
+           |In order to mitigate this and ease the usage of such functions we have the ${"@usecase"}
+           |annotation for docstrings. Which can be used like this:
+           |
+           |$usecase
+           |
+           |Now when creating the docs, the method signature is substituted by the
+           |${"@usecase"} with a reader-friendly version. The compiler makes sure that it is valid.
+           |
+           |Because of this, you must use ${"def"} when defining ${"@usecase"}.""".stripMargin
