-  # Start a Pry REPL.
-  # This method differs from `Pry.start` in that it does not
-  # support an options hash. Also, when no parameter is provided, the Pry
-  # session will start on the implied receiver rather than on
-  # top-level (as in the case of `Pry.start`).
-  # It has two forms of invocation. In the first form no parameter
-  # should be provided and it will start a pry session on the
-  # receiver. In the second form it should be invoked without an
-  # explicit receiver and one parameter; this will start a Pry
-  # session on the parameter.
-  # @param [Object, Binding] target The receiver of the Pry session.
-  # @param [Symbol, Symbol] :quiet silences, anything else allows whereami.

+  # Start a Pry REPL.  This method only differs from Pry.start in that it
+  # will accept a options hash now without the need for a binding and
+  # will default to the binding `self`.  POSSIBLE DEPRICATION WARNING:
+  # In the future the backwards compatibility with pry(binding) could be
+  # removed so please properly use Object.pry or if you use pry(binding)
+  # switch Pry.start(binding).
