+     "Inspired by Genera's and KDE's concepts of \"activities\", this library
+allows the user to select an \"activity\", the loading of which restores a
+window configuration into a @code{tab-bar} tab or frame, along with the
+buffers shown in each window.  Saving an activity saves the state for later
+restoration.  Switching away from an activity saves the last-used state for
+later switching back to, while still allowing the activity's initial or
+default state to be restored on demand.  Resuming an activity loads the
+last-used state, or the initial/default state when a universal argument is
+provided.  The implementation uses the bookmark system to save buffers
+states–that is, any major mode that supports the bookmark system is
+compatible.")
