+ (description
+ "Execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, separated into a
+parser (execlineb) and a set of commands meant to execute one another in a
+chain-execution fashion, storing the whole script in the argument array.
+It features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling, file name
+globbing, redirection and other shell concepts, expressed as discrete commands
+rather than in special syntax, minimizing runtime footprint and
+complexity.")))
