+    (description
+     "Some carefully crafted libraries make promises to their users beyond
+functionality and performance.
+
+Examples are: Fusion libraries promise intermediate data structures to be
+eliminated.  Generic programming libraries promise that the generic
+implementation is identical to the hand-written one.  Some libraries may
+promise allocation-free or branch-free code.
+
+Conventionally, the modus operandi in all these cases is that the library
+author manually inspects the (intermediate or final) code produced by the
+compiler.  This is not only tedious, but makes it very likely that some change,
+either in the library itself or the surrounding eco-system, breaks the
+library's promised without anyone noticing.
+
+This package provides a disciplined way of specifying such properties, and
+have them checked by the compiler.  This way, this checking can be part of the
+ususal development cycle and regressions caught early.
+
+See the documentation in \"Test.Inspection\" or the project webpage for more
+examples and more information.")
