+Trf extends the TCL language at the C-level with so-called ``transformer''
+procedures. With the help of some patches to the core the package is able
+to intercept all read/write operations on designated channels, thus giving
+it the ability to transform the buffer contents as desired. This allows
+things like transparent encryption, compression, charset recoding, etc.
