+     "This package provides expandable token list operations for which @code{l3tl}
+only has unexpandable variants.  These expandable versions are typically
+slower than the unexpandable code.  Unlike the @code{l3tl} versions, the
+functions in this module may contain braces and macro parameter tokens in
+their arguments, but as a drawback they cannot distinguish some tokens and do
+not consider the character code of group-begin and group-end tokens.
+Additionally a general map to token lists is provided, modelled after the
+@code{expl3} internal @code{__tl_act:NNNn} but with additional features.  The
+package has no immediate use for document authors; it only contains
+@code{expl3} functions intended for programmers.")
