 - __mapping:__ An object that describes the mapping in the format `{ possibleInput: result }`.
 	- A `possibleInput` of `_` defines a "catch-all" case; anything that doesn't match any of the other possible inputs, will trigger the catch-all case.
 	- The `result` may be either a literal value, or a function that *produces* that value. If it's a function, the function will *only* be called when there is a match, and the return value of that call will be returned from the `matchValue` call. If you want to *return* functions rather than call them, see the `.literal` method below.
+		- If a function is specified, it will be called with the original `input` as its first and only argument; this makes it easier to specify the mapping object in a different place from where it is used with `matchValue`, by not needing to have it in the same lexical scope.
 
 Returns a result if a match was found, or the catch-all was hit. Throws an `Error` if no match was found *and* no catch-all was specified.

 ## Changelog
 
+### v1.1.0 (June 3, 2020)
+
+* __Feature:__ A lazy function will now receive the original input value as its first and only argument.

 ### v1.0.1 (June 3, 2020)
 
 * __Bugfix:__ Fixed function handling; they were interpreted as literals in non-literal mode and vice versa. It now works correctly, according to what the documentation specifies.
