+     "uthash implements a hash table and a few other basic data structures
+as C preprocessor macros.  It aims to be minimalistic and efficient: it's
+around 1,000 lines of code which, being macros, inline automatically.
+
+Unlike function calls with fixed prototypes, macros operate on untyped
+arguments.  Thus, they are able to work with any type of structure and key.
+Any C structure can be stored in a hash table by adding @code{UT_hash_handle}
+to the structure and choosing one or more fields to act as the key.")
