 description:
-        
+
         This package implements serialization/deserialization of 'Series', labeled one-dimensional arrays
         combining properties from maps and arrays.
-        
+
         The important modules are:
-        
+
         ["Data.Series.IO"] Serialization/deserialization of series of arbitrary types.
-        
+
         ["Data.Series.Unboxed.IO"] Serialization/deserialization of unboxed series for better performance, at the cost of flexibility.
-        
+
         ["Data.Series.Generic.IO"] Serialization/deserialization of generic series to manipulate any type of 'Series'.
-        
+
         If you don't know where to start, please take a look at the documentation in "Data.Series.IO".
