+ (description "@code{Scalar::String} is about the string part of
+plain Perl scalars. A scalar has a string value, which is notionally
+a sequence of Unicode codepoints but may be internally encoded in
+either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, more so in older versions of
+Perl, the internal encoding shows through. To fully understand Perl
+strings it is necessary to understand these implementation details.
+This module provides functions to classify a string by encoding and to
+encode a string in a desired way. The module is implemented in XS,
+with a pure Perl backup version for systems that cannot handle XS.")
