-      # The +:force+ option is useful when you're calling some other method to

-      # Setting <tt>skip_nil: true</tt> will not cache nil result:

       #
-      # Setting <tt>:race_condition_ttl</tt> is very useful in situations where
-      # a cache entry is used very frequently and is under heavy load. If a
-      # cache expires and due to heavy load several different processes will try
-      # to read data natively and then they all will try to write to cache. To
-      # avoid that case the first process to find an expired cache entry will
-      # bump the cache expiration time by the value set in <tt>:race_condition_ttl</tt>.
-      # Yes, this process is extending the time for a stale value by another few
-      # seconds. Because of extended life of the previous cache, other processes
-      # will continue to use slightly stale data for a just a bit longer. In the
-      # meantime that first process will go ahead and will write into cache the
-      # new value. After that all the processes will start getting the new value.
-      # The key is to keep <tt>:race_condition_ttl</tt> small.
+      # * <tt>skip_nil: true</tt> - Prevents caching a nil result:
       #
-      # If the process regenerating the entry errors out, the entry will be
-      # regenerated after the specified number of seconds. Also note that the
-      # life of stale cache is extended only if it expired recently. Otherwise
-      # a new value is generated and <tt>:race_condition_ttl</tt> does not play
-      # any role.

+      # * +:race_condition_ttl+ - Specifies the number of seconds during which
+      #   an expired value can be reused while a new value is being generated.
+      #   This can be used to prevent race conditions when cache entries expire,
+      #   by preventing multiple processes from simultaneously regenerating the
