+`inspect` has the following declaration: `str = inspect(value, <options>)`.
+
+`value` can be any Lua value. `inspect` transforms simple types (like strings or numbers) into strings. Tables, on the other
+hand, are rendered in a way a human can undersand.

+`inspect`'s second parameter allows controlling the maximum depth that will be printed out. When the max depth is reached, it'll just return `{...}`:
+
+    local t5 = {a = {b = {c = {d = {e = 5}}}}}

+`options.depth` defaults to infinite (`math.huge`).
+
+### options.filter
+
+Sometimes it might be convenient to "filter out" some parts of the output. The `options.filter` option can do that.
+
+`options.filter` accepts a table of values. Any value on that table will be rendered as `<filtered>`. This is useful for hiding things like long complex tables that are not interesting for the task at hand, for example an unuseful complex metatable.
+
+    local person = {name = 'peter'}
+    setmetatable(person, complex_mt)
+    inspect(x, {filter = {complex_mt}}) == [[{
+      name = "peter",
+      <metatable> = <filtered>
+    }]]
+
+`options.filter` can also be a function. The function must return true for the values that must be filtered out.
+
+    local isEvenNumber = function(x) return type(x) == 'number' and x % 2 == 0 end
+
+    inspect({1,2,3,4,5}, {filter = isEvenNumber}) == "{ 1, <filtered>, 3, <filtered>, 5 }"
