     event it comes after. Historic tokens start with a "t" followed by the
     "topological_ordering" id of the event it comes after, followed by "-",
     followed by the "stream_ordering" id of the event it comes after.
+
+    There is also a third mode for live tokens where the token starts with "m",
+    which is sometimes used when using sharded event persisters. In this case
+    the events stream is considered to be a set of streams (one for each writer)
+    and the token encodes the vector clock of positions of each writer in their
+    respective streams.
+
+    The format of the token in such case is an initial integer min position,
+    followed by the mapping of instance ID to position separated by '.' and '~':
+
+        m{min_pos}~{writer1}.{pos1}~{writer2}.{pos2}. ...
+
+    The `min_pos` corresponds to the minimum position all writers have persisted
+    up to, and then only writers that are ahead of that position need to be
+    encoded. An example token is:
+
+        m56~2.58~3.59
+
+    Which corresponds to a set of three (or more writers) where instances 2 and
+    3 (these are instance IDs that can be looked up in the DB to fetch the more
+    commonly used instance names) are at positions 58 and 59 respectively, and
+    all other instances are at position 56.

+    instance map.
