+ (description "This Haskell library offers (among other things) the
+following selection of synchronisation primitives:
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{Broadcast}: Wake multiple threads by broadcasting a value.
+@item @code{Event}: Wake multiple threads by signalling an event.
+@item @code{Lock}: Enforce exclusive access to a resource. Also known
+as a binary semaphore or mutex. The package additionally provides an
+alternative that works in the STM monad.
+@item @code{RLock}: A lock which can be acquired multiple times by the
+same thread. Also known as a reentrant mutex.
+@item @code{ReadWriteLock}: Multiple-reader, single-writer locks. Used
+to protect shared resources which may be concurrently read, but only
+sequentially written.
+@item @code{ReadWriteVar}: Concurrent read, sequential write variables.
+@end itemize
+
+Please consult the API documentation of the individual modules for more
+detailed information.
+
+This package was inspired by the concurrency libraries of Java and
+Python.")
