+ This package provides functionality for generalizing the deriving mechanism
+ in Haskell to arbitrary classes. It was first described in the paper:
+
+ * /A generic deriving mechanism for Haskell/.
+ Jose Pedro Magalhaes, Atze Dijkstra, Johan Jeuring, and Andres Loeh.
+ Haskell&#39;10.
+
+ The current implementation integrates with the new GHC Generics. See
+ &lt;http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Generics&gt; for more information.
+ Template Haskell code is provided for supporting GHC before version 7.2.
