+The Par monad(s) offer an alternative parallel programming API to that
+provided by the 'parallel' package. A Par monad allows the simple
+description of parallel computations, and can be used to add parallelism
+to pure Haskell code. The basic API is straightforward: a Par monad
+supports forking and simple communication in terms of IVars. This module
+is an interface module only. It provides a number of type clasess, but
+not an implementation. The type classes separate different levels of Par
+functionality.
