+    (description "@code{FixedPointNumbers.jl} implements fixed-point number
+types for Julia.  A fixed-point number represents a fractional, or
+non-integral, number.  In contrast with the more widely known floating-point
+numbers, with fixed-point numbers the decimal point doesn't \"float\":
+fixed-point numbers are effectively integers that are interpreted as being
+scaled by a constant factor.  Consequently, they have a fixed number of
+digits (bits) after the decimal (radix) point.")
