 `Get()` calls, but want your environmental variables to use `_` delimiters. An
 example of using it can be found in `viper_test.go`.
 
+Alternatively, you can use `EnvKeyReplacer` with `NewWithOptions` factory function.
+Unlike `SetEnvKeyReplacer`, it accepts a `StringReplacer` interface allowing you to write custom string replacing logic.
+
 By default empty environment variables are considered unset and will fall back to
 the next configuration source. To treat empty environment variables as set, use
 the `AllowEmptyEnv` method.
