-This sub-method is the same as the `pagy_get_items` sub-method, but it is called only by the `pagy_countless` method. (see the [pagy_get_items doc](../api/backend.md#pagy_get_itemscollection-pagy)).
+This sub-method is similar to the `pagy_get_items` sub-method, but it is called only by the `pagy_countless` method. (see the [pagy_get_items doc](../api/backend.md#pagy_get_itemscollection-pagy)).
+
+**Notice**: This method calls `to_a` on the collection in order to `pop` the eventual extra item from the result, so it returns an `Array`. That's different than the regular `pagy_get_items` method which doesn't need to call `to_a` on the collection.
