 ### Subscription
 
 This package supports GraphQL subscription. To create a subscription field in a GraphQL schema, use the `subscribe`
-resolver that returns any type that conforms to `AsyncSequence`. You must also provide a `resolver`, which defines how
-to process each event as it occurs and must return the field result type. Here is an example:
