 Modifiers cannot implicitly access or change the arguments and return values of functions they modify.
 Their values can only be passed to them explicitly at the point of invocation.
 
+In function modifiers, it is necessary to specify when you want the function to which the modifier is
+applied to be run. The placeholder statement (denoted by a single underscore character ``_``) is used to
+denote where the body of the function being modified should be inserted. Note that the
+placeholder operator is different from using underscores as leading or trailing characters in variable
+names, which is a stylistic choice.
+
 Explicit returns from a modifier or function body only leave the current
 modifier or function body. Return variables are assigned and
 control flow continues after the ``_`` in the preceding modifier.
