+     "Transformers provides functor and monad transformers, inspired by the
+paper \"Functional Programming with Overloading and Higher-Order
+Polymorphism\", by Mark P Jones, in Advanced School of Functional Programming,
+1995 @url{http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/pubs/springschool.html}.
+
+This package contains:
+@itemize
+@item the monad transformer class (in @code{Control.Monad.Trans.Class})
+@item concrete functor and monad transformers, each with associated operations
+and functions to lift operations associated with other transformers.
+@end itemize
+
+This package can be used on its own in portable Haskell code, in which case
+operations need to be manually lifted through transformer stacks (see
+@code{Control.Monad.Trans.Class} for some examples).  Alternatively, it can be
+used with the non-portable monad classes in the mtl or monads-tf packages,
+which automatically lift operations introduced by monad transformers through
+other transformers.")
