+Conf: Haskell-Style Config Parsing
+===
+
+This package is designed to allow you to create configuration files
+with declarative Haskell and parse the values back into Haskell code.
+The benefit here is to have a configuration file in Haskell that does
+not have to be recompiled - it is interpreted/parsed at runtime in a 
+type-safe manner.
+
+```haskell
+-- Example configuration "my-config"
+foo = ["bar", "baz"]
+spam = Eggs
+```
+
+```haskell
+-- Example application
+import Data.Conf
+import Data.Maybe
+
+data Spam = Eggs | Parrot | SomethingEntirelyDifferent
+    deriving (Show, Read)
+
+getSpam :: Conf -> Spam
+getSpam = fromMaybe SomethingEntirelyDifferent . getConf "spam"
+
+getFoo :: Conf -> Maybe [Int]
+getFoo = getConf "foo"
+
+main = do
+    conf <- readConf "/path/to/my-config"
+    let spam = getSpam conf
+    print spam  -- Output: "Eggs"
+    let foo = getFoo conf
+    print foo   -- Output: "Nothing"
+```
