 In addition to the above return value policies, further `call policies` can be
-specified to indicate dependencies between parameters. There is currently just
+specified to indicate dependencies between parameters. In general, call policies

+There is currently just
 one policy named ``keep_alive<Nurse, Patient>``, which indicates that the
 argument with index ``Patient`` should be kept alive at least until the
 argument with index ``Nurse`` is freed by the garbage collector. Argument
