+     "Haskellers are usually familiar with monoids and semigroups.  A monoid has an
+appending operation @code{<>} (or @code{mappend}), and an identity element,
+@code{mempty}.  A semigroup has an appending @code{<>} operation, but does not
+require a @code{mempty} element.  A Semiring has two appending operations,
+@code{plus} and @code{times}, and two respective identity elements,
+@code{zero} and @code{one}.  More formally, a Semiring R is a set equipped
+with two binary relations @code{+} and @code{*}, such that: (R,+) is a
+commutative monoid with identity element 0, (R,*) is a monoid with identity
+element 1, (*) left and right distributes over addition, and . multiplication
+by @code{0} annihilates R.")
