376376More formally, when evaluating a generic function call ``f(x)`` at a specific world age
377377``i``, if a regular method call ``fᵢ(x)`` is redirected to an overlay method call ``fᵢ′(x)``
378- defined by this macro, it must be ensured that ``fᵢ(x) ≡ fᵢ′(x)``.
378+ defined by this macro, ``fᵢ(x)`` and ``fᵢ′(x)`` are considered `:consistent` if the following
379+ conditions are met:
380+ - If `fᵢ(x)` returns a value `y`, then `fᵢ′(x)` also returns some value `yᵢ`, and `y ≡ yᵢ` holds.
381+ - If `fᵢ(x)` throws an exception, then `fᵢ′(x)` also throws some exception.

384387 Note that the requirements for `:consistent`-cy include not only that the return values

386- However, it's important to aware that when they throw exceptions, the exceptions
387- themselves don't necessarily have to be egal as explained in the note of `:consistent`.
388- In other words, if ``fᵢ(x)`` throws an exception, ``fᵢ′(x)`` is required to also throw
389- one, but the exact exceptions may differ.
