+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+haskell-scientific: haskell-scientific (Arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers)
+haskell-scientific:
+haskell-scientific: Arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers represented using
+haskell-scientific: scientific notation.
+haskell-scientific:
+haskell-scientific: Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of parsing floating
+haskell-scientific: point numbers. Since the textual representation of floating point
+haskell-scientific: numbers use scientific notation they can be efficiently parsed to a
+haskell-scientific: Scientific number.
