 //!         should always be printed.

 //! * '#' - This flag is indicates that the "alternate" form of printing should

-//!     * `x` - precedes the argument with a "0x"

-//!     * `o` - precedes the argument with a "0o"
+//!         be used.  For array slices, the alternate form omits the brackets.
+//!         For the integer formatting traits, the alternate forms are:
+//!     * `#x` - precedes the argument with a "0x"
+//!     * `#X` - precedes the argument with a "0x"
+//!     * `#t` - precedes the argument with a "0b"
