=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head2 C<unimport @opts>
-Magically called when C<no autovivification> is encountered.
+Magically called when C<no autovivification @opts> is encountered.
Enables the features given in C<@opts>, which can be :
=over 4
C<'fetch'>
-Turn off autovivification for rvalue dereferencing expressions, such as C<< $value = $hashref->{key}[$idx]{$field} >>, C<< keys %{$hashref->{key}} >> or C<< values %{$hashref->{key}} >>.
-Starting from perl C<5.11>, it also covers C<keys> and C<values> on array references.
+Turns off autovivification for rvalue dereferencing expressions, such as :
+
+ $value = $arrayref->[$idx]
+ $value = $hashref->{$key}
+ keys %$hashref
+ values %$hashref
+
+Starting from perl C<5.11>, it also covers C<keys> and C<values> on array references :
+
+ keys @$arrayref
+ values @$arrayref
+
When the expression would have autovivified, C<undef> is returned for a plain fetch, while C<keys> and C<values> return C<0> in scalar context and the empty list in list context.
=item *
C<'exists'>
-Turn off autovivification for dereferencing expressions that are parts of an C<exists>, such as C<< exists $hashref->{key}[$idx]{$field} >>.
+Turns off autovivification for dereferencing expressions that are parts of an C<exists>, such as :
+
+ exists $arrayref->[$idx]
+ exists $hashref->{$key}
+
C<''> is returned when the expression would have autovivified.
=item *
C<'delete'>
-Turn off autovivification for dereferencing expressions that are parts of a C<delete>, such as C<< delete $hashref->{key}[$idx]{$field} >>.
+Turns off autovivification for dereferencing expressions that are parts of a C<delete>, such as :
+
+ delete $arrayref->[$idx]
+ delete $hashref->{$key}
+
C<undef> is returned when the expression would have autovivified.
=item *
C<'store'>
-Turn off autovivification for lvalue dereferencing expressions, such as C<< $hashref->{key}[$idx]{$field} = $value >> or C<< for ($hashref->{key}[$idx]{$field}) { ... } >>.
-An exception is thrown if vivification is needed to store the value, which means that effectively you can only assign to levels that are already defined (in the example, this would require C<< $hashref->{key}[$idx] >> to already be a hash reference).
+Turns off autovivification for lvalue dereferencing expressions, such as :
+
+ $arrayref->[$idx] = $value
+ $hashref->{$key} = $value
+ for ($arrayref->[$idx]) { ... }
+ for ($hashref->{$key}) { ... }
+ function($arrayref->[$idx])
+ function($hashref->{$key})
+
+An exception is thrown if vivification is needed to store the value, which means that effectively you can only assign to levels that are already defined.
+In the example, this would require C<$arrayref> (resp. C<$hashref>) to already be an array (resp. hash) reference.
=item *
C<'warn'>
-Emit a warning when an autovivification is avoided.
+Emits a warning when an autovivification is avoided.

C<'strict'>
-Throw an exception when an autovivification is avoided.
+Throws an exception when an autovivification is avoided.

+=head1 CONSTANTS
+
+=head2 C<A_THREADSAFE>
+
+True iff the module could have been built with thread-safety features enabled.
+This constant only has a meaning with your perl is threaded ; otherwise, it'll always be false.
+
+=head2 C<A_FORKSAFE>
+
+True iff this module could have been built with fork-safety features enabled.
+This will always be true except on Windows where it's false for perl 5.10.0 and below.
+
=head1 CAVEATS
The pragma doesn't apply when one dereferences the returned value of an array or hash slice, as in C<< @array[$id]->{member} >> or C<< @hash{$key}->{member} >>.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
-L<perl> 5.8.
+L<perl> 5.8.3.
+
+A C compiler.
+This module may happen to build with a C++ compiler as well, but don't rely on it, as no guarantee is made in this regard.
L<XSLoader> (standard since perl 5.006).
