+ (description "Astring exposes an alternative String module for OCaml. This
+module balances minimality and expressiveness for basic, index-free, string
+processing and provides types and functions for substrings, string sets and
+string maps. The String module exposed by Astring has exception safe functions,
+removes deprecated and rarely used functions, alters some signatures and names,
+adds a few missing functions and fully exploits OCaml's newfound string
+immutability.")
