+  MODES is a major mode symbol or a list of them.
+  PLIST is a property list whose keys must match keys in `+pretty-code-symbols',
+and whose values are strings representing the text to be replaced with that
+symbol. If the car of PLIST is nil, then unset any pretty symbols previously
+defined for MODES.
+
+The following properties are special:
+
+  :alist ALIST
+    Appends ALIST to `prettify-symbols-alist' literally, without mapping text to
+    `+pretty-code-symbols'.
+  :merge BOOL
+    If non-nil, merge with previously defined `prettify-symbols-alist',
+    otherwise overwrite it.
+
+For example, the rule for emacs-lisp-mode is very simple:
+
+  (set-pretty-symbols! 'emacs-lisp-mode
+    :lambda \"lambda\")
+
+This will replace any instances of \"lambda\" in emacs-lisp-mode with the symbol
+assicated with :lambda in `+pretty-code-symbols'.
+
+Pretty symbols can be unset for emacs-lisp-mode with:
+
+  (set-pretty-symbols! 'emacs-lisp-mode nil)"
