 The ``CFNType`` can be used to signal that a variable should be submitted
 to CloudFormation as a Parameter instead of only available to the
-Blueprint when rendering. This is useful if you want to leverage AWS
-specific Parameter types like ``List<AWS::EC2::Image::Id>``. See
-``stacker.blueprints.variables.types`` for available subclasses of the
+Blueprint when rendering. This is useful if you want to leverage AWS-
+Specific Parameter types (e.g. ``List<AWS::EC2::Image::Id>``) or Systems
+Manager Parameter Store values (e.g. ``AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<String>``).
+See ``stacker.blueprints.variables.types`` for available subclasses of the
 ``CFNType``.
