+# FFI Specialization Macros Usage Examples
+
+This demonstrates the improvements to the `ffi::specialize_for` macro and the new `ffi::specialize` macro.
+
+## Before (Current Verbose Syntax)
+
+```rust
+#[ffi::specialize_for(
+    types = "u8",
+    types = "u16",
+    types = "u32",
+    types = "u64",
+    convention = "csharp",
+    name = "doublets_constants_*"
+)]
+unsafe fn get_constants<T: LinkType>() -> Constants<T> {
+    // implementation
+}
+```
+
+## After - Option 1: Flexible Type Mapping (IMPLEMENTED)
+
+The existing syntax is still supported for backward compatibility, and now:
+
+- The `convention` parameter is optional (defaults to csharp)
+- More concise usage
+
+```rust
+#[ffi::specialize_for(
+    types = "u8",
+    types = "u16", 
+    types = "u32",
+    types = "u64",
+    name = "doublets_constants_*"
+)]
+unsafe fn get_constants<T: LinkType>() -> Constants<T> {
+    // implementation - convention defaults to csharp
+}
+```
+
+## After - Option 2: Simplified Embedded Annotations (IMPLEMENTED)
+
+```rust
+#[ffi::specialize("doublets_constants_*")]
+unsafe fn get_constants<T: LinkType>() -> Constants<T> {
+    // implementation
+    // Automatically generates for u8, u16, u32, u64 with C# naming
+}
+```
+
+## Generated Functions
+
+Both approaches generate the same FFI functions:
+
+- `doublets_constants_Byte`    (for u8)
+- `doublets_constants_UInt16`  (for u16)  
+- `doublets_constants_UInt32`  (for u32)
+- `doublets_constants_UInt64`  (for u64)
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Less repetition** - No need to repeat `types = "..."` for each type
+2. **Simpler syntax** - The new `specialize` macro requires just the name pattern
+3. **Backward compatibility** - Existing code continues to work unchanged
+4. **Default convention** - No need to specify convention for common C# usage
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+✅ Both macros are implemented and working
+✅ Backward compatibility maintained  
+✅ Code compiles and tests pass
+✅ Ready for use in production
