+    (description
+     "An \"ID database\" is a binary file containing a list of file
+names, a list of tokens, and a sparse matrix indicating which
+tokens appear in which files.
+
+With this database and some tools to query it, many
+text-searching tasks become simpler and faster.  For example,
+you can list all files that reference a particular `\\#include'
+file throughout a huge source hierarchy, search for all the
+memos containing references to a project, or automatically
+invoke an editor on all files containing references to some
+function or variable.  Anyone with a large software project to
+maintain, or a large set of text files to organize, can benefit
+from the ID utilities.
+
+Although the name `ID' is short for `identifier', the ID
+utilities handle more than just identifiers; they also treat
+other kinds of tokens, most notably numeric constants, and the
+contents of certain character strings.")
