 Access wideners should **only** be used where mixin does not currently provide a means to do so.
 There are currently only 2 cases where mixins are not sufficient:
-  * Needing to access a private class, especially for the purpose of shadowing or accessing a field or method in a mixin.
+  * Needing to access a (package) private class, especially for the purpose of shadowing or accessing a field or method in a mixin.
   * Being able to override final methods or subclass final classes.
+    * Before you consider overriding final methods, try mixin injecting in final methods first!
+    * If you want to subclass a class with only (package) private constructors, wideners are a good choice.
+In order to access widener changes to show up in the decompiled source, run the ''genSources'' gradle task.
