-## Requirements
-
-strong-mock requires an environment that supports the [ES6 Proxy object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy). This is necessary to create dynamic mocks from types because TypeScript does not support reflection i.e. exposing the type info at runtime.

-Some matchers, like `containsObject` and `isArray` support nesting matchers:
+You can nest matchers in `deepEquals`, `containsObject` and `isArray`:
 
 ```typescript
-It.containsObject({
-  foo: It.isString()
-})
+type Point = { label: string; value: number };
+const fn = mock<(data: { points: Point[]; title: string }) => number>();

-By default, function/method expectations will allow more arguments to be received than expected. Since the expectations are type safe, the TypeScript compiler will never allow expecting less arguments than required.

 ### How do I set expectations on setters?
 
-You currently can't do that. Please use a normal method instead e.g. `setFoo()` vs `set foo()`.
+Calling setters inside `when` is not currently supported. If you can redesign the code under test, you should consider using a setter method e.g. `setFoo(value)` instead of `set foo(value)`.
