+ (description
+ "Pdist computes the euclidean distance between rows of a matrix X and
+rows of another matrix Y. Previously, this could be done by binding the two
+matrices together and calling @code{dist}, but this creates unnecessary
+computation by computing the distances between a row of X and another row of
+X, and likewise for Y. Pdist strictly computes distances across the two
+matrices, not within the same matrix, making computations significantly faster
+for certain use cases.")
