 Debug provides tools to make debugging easier.
 
-Here is classic usage of the main provided tools::
+Enabling all debug tools is as easy as calling the `enable()` method on the
+main `Debug` class:
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Debug\Debug;
+
+    Debug::enable();
+
+You can also use the tools individually:
 
     use Symfony\Component\Debug\ErrorHandler;
     use Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler;
 
     error_reporting(-1);

     } elseif (!ini_get('log_errors') || ini_get('error_log')) {

-    DebugClassLoader::enable();
+Not that the `Debug::enable()` call also registers the debug class loader from
+the Symfony ClassLoader component when available.
