Andreas Finger Prem Sichanugrist Excellent point! So far that information only made it into my #rubykaigi presentation 😅 I've just thrown the relevant slides up... even without my words, they probably answer some questions. I'll definitely add a proper explanation to docs ASAP, though. speakerdeck.com/matthewd/rubyk…
