+  (description
+    "The premise of basic-prelude is that there are a lot of very commonly
+desired features missing from the standard Prelude, such as commonly used
+operators (<$> and >=>, for instance) and imports for common datatypes
+(e.g., ByteString and Vector).  At the same time, there are lots of other
+components which are more debatable, such as providing polymorphic versions
+of common functions.
+
+So basic-prelude is intended to give a common foundation for a number of
+alternate preludes.  The package provides two modules: CorePrelude provides
+the common ground for other preludes to build on top of, while BasicPrelude
+exports CorePrelude together with commonly used list functions to provide a
+drop-in replacement for the standard Prelude.
+
+Users wishing to have an improved Prelude can use BasicPrelude.  Developers
+wishing to create a new prelude should use CorePrelude.")
