Please expound a little bit. Otherwise OK.

Thanks for reviewing all of these!
The problem with this and some other libraries is that the library
doesn't have an official home-page (apart from a source repository
which doesn't include anything other than the source). The description
is taken one-to-one from the Cabal file and I don't really know how I
can expand the description.
The Cabal file of some other libraries like, e.g., ghc-network, give
an, IMO, too detailed description (sometimes even with a code
snippet):
...
description:
This package provides a low-level networking interface.
.
In network-2.6 the @Network.URI@ module was split off into its own
package, network-uri-2.6. If you're using the @Network.URI@ module
you can automatically get it from the right package by adding this
to your .cabal file:
.
> flag network-uri
> description: Get Network.URI from the network-uri package
> default: True
>
> library
> -- ...
> if flag(network-uri)
> build-depends: network-uri >= 2.6, network >= 2.6
> else
> build-depends: network-uri < 2.6, network < 2.6
.
That is, get the module from either network < 2.6 or from
network-uri >= 2.6.
...
... and they also only have a source repository with no high level
information. For this reason I did cut the description to the,
sometimes very short, high level piece.
I hope it's fine to keep the concise description for these.
Regards,
Fede

Often there’s a README or manual that gives a better overview, but yeah,
I don’t mean that you should spend another 10 hours on this. ;-) So if
you find a paragraph that’s clearer, that’s nice, otherwise it’s OK.

Agreed, something like this one is overly detailed.
