+ <longdescription>
+ This package provides a "GHC.Generics"-based
+ 'Control.DeepSeq.Generics.genericRnf' function which can be used
+ for providing a 'rnf' implementation. See the documentation for
+ the 'genericRnf' function in the "Control.DeepSeq.Generics" module
+ to get started.
+
+ The original idea was pioneered in the @generic-deepseq@ package
+ (see &lt;http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2012-February/099551.html&gt;
+ for more information).
+
+ This package differs from the @generic-deepseq@ package by working
+ in combination with the existing @deepseq@ package as opposed to defining a
+ conflicting drop-in replacement for @deepseq@'s @Control.Deepseq@ module.
