19 check that to be sure. But here's a reproduction of the notation.

21 ```
22 NameOfClass.WithPossibleNamespace
23 + class property
24 - instance property
25 ~> listened events (socket)
26 +> listened events (class/module)
27 -> listened events (instance)
28 <~ dispatched events (socket)
29 <+ dispatched events(class/module)
30 <- dispatched events (instance)
31 :: class method
32 # instance method

34 Other symbols
35 => returns

41 Properties, events, methods.
