+ * val client = HttpClient { // HttpClientConfig<Engine>()
+ *     // Configure engine settings
+ *     engine { // HttpClientEngineConfig
+ *         threadsCount = 4

+ * ## Configuring [HttpClientEngine]
+ *
+ * If the engine is specified explicitly, engine specific properties will be available in the engine block:
+ * ```kotlin
+ * val client = HttpClient(CIO) { // HttpClientConfig<CIOEngineConfig>.() -> Unit
+ *     engine { // CIOEngineConfig.() -> Unit
+ *         // engine specific properties
+ *     }

+ * ```
+ *
  * Learn more about the client's configuration from
  * [Creating and configuring a client](https://ktor.io/docs/create-client.html).
