This is one of the asset examples in the documentation:
in...@sightglasscofee.com:AU-LAIT.0 2: represents 2 au laits issued by
Sightglass Coffee. “Au laits” are not fungible and therefore have
scale of 0.

I think this should say that au laits are not divisible rather than
not fungible. A fungible au lait would mean that a user is
indifferent between a Sightglass au lait and a Starbucks au lait, for
example.

Fungibility would be expressed as a pair of offers:
in...@starbucks.com[AU-LAIT.0]/in...@sightglasscofee.com[AU-LAIT.0] at 1/1
in...@sightglasscofee.com[AU-LAIT.0]/in...@starbucks.com[AU-LAIT.0] at 1/1

This comment would be better in a PR to the docs, I think.

This comment was made before and is exactly right.

Happy to accept any PR of course or I'll fix it tomorrow otherwise.

Thanks a ton!
