-    (description
-     "This library provides functions to escape and unescape strings.
-
-It escapes them in a roughly ``sh'' compatible way (e.g. double quotes
-supporting backslash escapes, single quotes supporting no escapes).
-
-In addition, it provides support for common C-like ASCII escapes (like
-@samp{\\n} for newline, @samp{\\v} for vertical tab, etc.) and Rust
-string-like Unicode (via @samp{\\u@{12ff@}} style escapes).
-
-More importantly, this library also provides the ability to un-escape a given
-escaped text to recover the original string.")
