+This package provides an implementation of the ideas presented in the paper
+"Functional Pearl: Implicit Configurations" by Oleg Kiselyov and
+Chung-chieh Shan. However, the API has been streamlined to improve
+performance.
+
+The original paper can be obtained from
+http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~ccshan/prepose/prepose.pdf.
+
+For a summary of the approach taken by this library, along with more
+motivating examples, see Austin Seipp's tutorial at
+https://www.fpcomplete.com/user/thoughtpolice/using-reflection.
