+     "This package provides utility functions that enhance the @code{parallel}
+package and support the built-in parallel backends of the @code{future}
+package.  For example, @code{availableCores} gives the number of CPU cores
+available to your R process as given by R options and environment variables,
+including those set by job schedulers on high-performance compute clusters.
+If none is set, it will fall back to @code{parallel::detectCores}.  Another
+example is @code{makeClusterPSOCK}, which is backward compatible with
+@code{parallel::makePSOCKcluster} while doing a better job in setting up
+remote cluster workers without the need for configuring the firewall to do
+port-forwarding to your local computer.")
