 ```
 
+`multi: true` indicates to `Fugit::Nat` that an array of `Fugit::Cron` instances is expected as a result.
+
+`multi: :fail` tells `Fugit::Nat.parse` to fail if the result is more than 1 `Fugit::Cron` instances.
+
+`multi: false` is the default behaviour, return a single `Fugit::Cron` instance or nil when it cannot parse.
+
+### Nat Midnight
+
+`"Every day at midnight"` is supported, but `"Every monday at midnight"` will be interpreted (as of Fugit <= 1.4.x) as `"Every monday at 00:00"`. Sorry about that.
