+ (description
+ "@code{File::Find} is great, but constructing the wanted routine can
+sometimes be a pain. @code{File::Finder} provides a wanted-writer, using
+syntax that is directly mappable to the @code{find(1)} command's syntax.
+
+A @code{File::Finder} object contains a hash of @code{File::Find} options, and
+a series of steps that mimic find's predicates. Initially, a
+@code{File::Finder} object has no steps. Each step method clones the previous
+object's options and steps, and then adds the new step, returning the new
+object. In this manner, an object can be grown, step by step, by chaining
+method calls. Furthermore, a partial sequence can be created and held, and
+used as the head of many different sequences.")
