+### Symfony Support
+
+When using [PHP configuration][symfony-php-config] files for your services, some elements may not be prefixed correctly
+due to being strings. For example (taken directly from the Symfony docs):
+
+```php
+<?php // config/services.php
+
+namespace Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\Configurator;
+
+return function(ContainerConfigurator $container): void {
+    // default configuration for services in *this* file
+    $services = $container->services()
+        ->defaults()
+            ->autowire()      // Automatically injects dependencies in your services.
+            ->autoconfigure() // Automatically registers your services as commands, event subscribers, etc.
+    ;
+
+    // makes classes in src/ available to be used as services
+    // this creates a service per class whose id is the fully-qualified class name
+    $services->load('App\\', '../src/')
+        ->exclude('../src/{DependencyInjection,Entity,Kernel.php}');
+
+    // order is important in this file because service definitions
+    // always *replace* previous ones; add your own service configuration below
+};
+```
+
+The string `'App\\'` from `$services->load()` will not be made into `'Prefix\\App\\'`. To address this
+you need to use [patchers]. Alternatively, PHP-Scoper provides one which should should handle such cases:
+
+```php
+<?php // scoper.inc.php
+
+$symfonyPatcher = (require __DIR__.'/vendor/humbug/php-scoper/res/create-symfony-php-services-patcher.php')('config/services.php');
+
+return [
+    'patchers' => [$symfonyPatcher],
+    // ...
+];
+```
+
+Note that the path is the "regular path(s)" that can be passed to patchers.
