+ <longdescription>
+ Uniplate is library for writing simple and concise generic operations.
+ Uniplate has similar goals to the original Scrap Your Boilerplate work,
+ but is substantially simpler and faster. The Uniplate manual is available at
+ &lt;http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/darcs/uniplate/uniplate.htm&gt;.
+
+ To get started with Uniplate you should import one of the three following
+ modules:
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.Data&quot; - to quickly start writing generic functions.
+ Most users should start by importing this module.
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.Direct&quot; - a replacement for &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.Data&quot;
+ with substantially higher performance (around 5 times), but requires writing
+ instance declarations.
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.Operations&quot; - definitions of all the operations defined
+ by Uniplate. Both the above two modules re-export this module.
+
+ In addition, some users may want to make use of the following modules:
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.Zipper&quot; - a zipper built on top of Uniplate instances.
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.SYB&quot; - users transitioning from the Scrap Your Boilerplate library.
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Compos&quot; - users transitioning from the Compos library.
+
+ * &quot;Data.Generics.Uniplate.DataOnly&quot; - users making use of both @Data@ and @Direct@
+ to avoid getting instance conflicts.
