+ <longdescription>
+ This library offers an alternative parallel programming
+ API to that provided by the @parallel@ package.
+ The 'Par' monad allows the simple description of
+ parallel computations, and can be used to add
+ parallelism to pure Haskell code. The basic API
+ is straightforward: the monad supports forking
+ and simple communication in terms of 'IVar's.
+ The library comes with an efficient work-stealing
+ implementation, but the internals are also
+ exposed so that you can build your own scheduler
+ if necessary.
+ Examples of use can be found in the examples/ directory
+ of the source package.
