+    (description
+     "The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental
+implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level
+ideas such as the Designer Interface.  Some of them work as stand alone
+packages, providing new functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2e with
+no changes to the existing kernel.  The present release includes:
+@itemize @code
+@item l3benchmark
+for measuring the time taken by TeX to run certain code;
+@item l3draw
+a code-level interface for constructing drawings;
+@item l3graphics
+an interface for the inclusion of graphics files;
+@item l3opacity
+support for opacity in PDF output;
+@item l3str
+support for string manipulation;
+@item l3bitset
+support for bit vectors;
+@item l3sys-shell
+which provides abstractions for common shell functions like file
+deletion and copying;
+@item xcoffins
+which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of handle positions,
+supplementing the simple TeX reference point;
+@item xgalley
+which controls boxes receiving text for typesetting.
