5.1. About Sensei Features

Sensei (先生) is a Japanese word that is used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill. Obfuscation is not exception.

Sensei obfuscation features are powerful and demanding. With a great power comes great responsibility. Not all of them are designed for a common everyday usage. Still, you may want them one day. Especially when you work on a licensing code or want to improve obfuscation coverage even further.
