-* We don't support certain attributes that were decided to be
-  implementation-dependent. For example, ``gc.get_referrers`` does not exist.
-  Others may have different behavior; for example, ``gc.enable`` and
-  ``gc.disable`` are supported, but they don't enable and disable the GC, but
-  instead just enable and disable the running of finalizers.
+* For the same reason, some functions and attributes of the ``gc`` module
+  behave in a slightly different way: for example, ``gc.enable`` and
+  ``gc.disable`` are supported, but instead of enabling and disabling the GC,
+  they just enable and disable the execution of finalizers.  Also,
+  ``gc.garbage`` always returns an empty list.
 
 * You can't attach a ``__del__`` method to a class after its creation.
