+ <longdescription>
+ This package defines the type class @MonadControlIO@, a subset of
+ @MonadIO@ into which generic control operations such as @catch@ can
+ be lifted from @IO@. Instances are based on monad transformers in
+ @MonadTransControl@, which includes all standard monad transformers
+ in the @transformers@ library except @ContT@. For convenience, it
+ provides a wrapped version of @Control.Exception@ with types
+ generalized from @IO@ to all monads in @MonadControlIO@.
+
+ Note that this package is a rewrite of Anders Kaseorg's @monad-peel@ library.
+ The main difference is that this package provides CPS style
+ operators and exploits the @RankNTypes@ language extension to
+ simplify most definitions.
+
+ The package includes a copy of the @monad-peel@ testsuite written by Anders Kaseorg.
+ The tests can be performed by using @cabal test@.
+
+ The following @critertion@ based benchmark shows that @monad-control@
+ is on average about 2.5 times faster than @monad-peel@:

+ this by default.
