+Monad-Finally
+=============
+
+[![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/mvv/monad-finally/master.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/mvv/monad-finally) [![Hackage](https://img.shields.io/hackage/v/monad-finally.svg)](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/monad-finally)
+
+This package provides a generalized version of `Control.Exception.finally`.
+The cleanup action is run not only on successful termination of the main
+computation and on errors, but on any control flow disruption (e.g.
+`mzero`, short-circuiting) that causes the main computation to not produce
+a result.
+
+Installation
+------------
+The usual:
+
+	$ cabal install
+
