+In some cases, the type must be stated explicitly, otherwise the behavior
+will not be as expected because the compiler will only be able to use
 the function's return type. For example, ``get_node()`` cannot infer a type
 unless the scene or file of the node is loaded in memory. In this case, you
 should set the type explicitly.
