 The next thing to keep in mind is that you will need to pass all arguments to C<next::method> it can 
 not automatically use the current C<@_>. 
 
+If C<next::method> cannot find a next method to re-dispatch the call to, it will throw an exception.
+You can use C<next::can> to see if C<next::method> will succeed before you call it like so:

 There are some caveats about using C<next::method>, see below for those.
