+S-expressions.  Canonical S-expressions are a binary encoding of
+S-expressions that is super simple and well suited for communication
+between programs.
+
+This library only provides a few helpers for simple applications.  If
+you need more advanced support, such as parsing from more fancy input
+sources, you should consider copying the code of this library given
+how simple parsing S-expressions in canonical form is.
+
+To avoid a dependency on a particular S-expression library, the only
+module of this library is parameterised by the type of S-expressions.")
