+    (description "This Haskell package provides an abstract interface to
+highly-parameterizable queues/deques.
+
+Background: There exists a feature space for queues that extends between:
+
+@itemize
+@item Simple, single-ended, non-concurrent, bounded queues
+
+@item Double-ended, threadsafe, growable queues with important points
+inbetween (such as the queues used for work-stealing).
+@end itemize
+
+This package includes an interface for Deques that allows the programmer
+to use a single API for all of the above, while using the type-system to
+select an efficient implementation given the requirements (using type families).
+
+This package also includes a simple reference implementation based on
+@code{IORef} and @code{Data.Sequence}.")
