 ==== Customized Template Path
 
-The template path of a `@CheckedTemplate` method consists of the _base path_ and a _defaulted name_.
+The path of a type-safe template (`@CheckedTemplate` method or record) consists of a _base path_ and a _defaulted name_.
 The _base path_ is supplied by the `@CheckedTemplate#basePath()`.
-By default, the simple name of the declaring class for a nested static class or an empty string for a top level class is used.
+By default, the simple name of the enclosing class for a nested static class or an empty string for a top level class is used.
 The _defaulted name_ is derived by the strategy specified in `@CheckedTemplate#defaultName()`.
-By default, the name of the `@CheckedTemplate` method is used as is.
+By default, the name of the `@CheckedTemplate` method/record is used as is.

+NOTE: A template record that is not annotated with `@CheckedTemplate` is treated as if it was annotated with `@CheckedTemplate` with default values.
