+synopsis:
+  The most complete prelude formed from only the "base" package
+description:
+  A library which reexports all non-conflicting and
+  most general definitions from the \"base\" package.
+  This includes APIs for applicatives, arrows, monoids, foldables, traversables,
+  exceptions, generics, ST, MVars and STM.
+  .
+  This package will never have any dependencies other than \"base\".
