+     (description
+      "STMX is a high-performance implementation of composable Transactional
+Memory, which is a concurrency control mechanism aimed at making concurrent
+programming easier to write and understand.  Instead of traditional lock-based
+programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions, which can be
+composed together to make larger atomic memory transactions.
+
+A memory transaction gets committed if it returns normally, while it gets
+rolled back if it signals an error (and the error is propagated to the
+caller).
+
+Finally, memory transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads,
+are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads
+cannot be guaranteed, and their effects are not visible from other threads
+until they commit.
+
+Memory transactions give freedom from deadlocks, are immune to thread-safety
+bugs and race conditions, provide automatic roll-back on failure, and aim at
+resolving the tension between granularity and concurrency.")
