-You can target a resolver by passing its name (more on that later) as ``ValueResolver``'s
-first argument. For convenience, built-in resolvers' name are their FQCN.

-By default, a targeted resolver is "pinned" to the argument holding the
-``ValueResolver`` attribute, meaning that only it will be called to provide a value,
-and that it will have to.
+In the example above, the ``SessionValueResolver`` will be called first because it is
+targeted. The ``DefaultValueResolver`` will be called next if no value has been provided;
+that's why we can assign ``$session`` a default value in the above example.
 
-In the above example the ``DefaultValueResolver`` would never be called, so adding a
-default value to ``$session`` would be useless. If we need one, then it is fine not
-to use ``ValueResolver``.
-But then, what if we want to prevent an hypothetic ``EagerValueResolver`` to provide a
-value before ``SessionValueResolver``? Time to use ``ValueResolver``'s second argument!
-By passing it to ``true``, you can disable the targeted resolver::

+The ``ValueResolver`` attribute can also be used to disable the targeted resolver
