+    (description
+      "This package provides two library modules:
+
+@itemize
+@item Stream: imperative streams, with in-place update and memoization of
+the latest element produced.
+@item Genlex: a small parameterized lexical analyzer producing streams of
+tokens from streams of characters.
+@end itemize
+
+The two modules are designed for use with Camlp4 and Camlp5: The stream
+patterns and stream expressions of Camlp4/Camlp5 consume and produce data of
+type 'a Stream.t.  The Genlex tokenizer can be used as a simple lexical
+analyzer for Camlp4/Camlp5-generated parsers.
+
+The Stream module can also be used by hand-written recursive-descent parsers,
+but is not very convenient for this purpose.
+
+The Stream and Genlex modules have been part of the OCaml standard library for a
+long time, and have been distributed as part of the core OCaml system.  They
+will be removed from the OCaml standard library at some future point, but will
+be maintained and distributed separately in the camlpstreams package.")
