+ <longdescription>
+ This package provides first class labels that can act as
+ bidirectional record fields. The labels can be derived
+ automatically using Template Haskell which means you don't have
+ to write any boilerplate yourself. The labels are implemented as
+ lenses and are fully composable. Labels can be used to /get/,
+ /set/ and /modify/ parts of a datatype in a consistent way.
+
+ See "Data.Label" for an introductory explanation.
+
+ Internally lenses are not tied to Haskell functions directly,
+ but are implemented as arrows. Arrows allow the lenses to be run
+ in custom computational contexts. This approach allows us to
+ make partial lenses that point to fields of multi-constructor
+ datatypes in an elegant way.
+
+ See the "Data.Label.Maybe" module for the use of partial labels.
