+syb: Scrap Your Boilerplate!
+================================================================================
+
+Scrap Your Boilerplate (SYB) is a library for generic programming in Haskell. It 
+is supported since the GHC >= 6.0 implementation of Haskell. Using this 
+approach, you can write generic functions such as traversal schemes (e.g., 
+everywhere and everything), as well as generic read, generic show and generic 
+equality (i.e., gread, gshow, and geq). This approach is based on just a few 
+primitives for type-safe cast and processing constructor applications. 
+
+It was originally developed by Ralf Lämmel and Simon Peyton Jones. Since then, 
+many people have contributed with research relating to SYB or its applications. 
+
+More information is available on the webpage: 
+http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/GenericProgramming/SYB
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+* Easy generic programming with combinators
+* GHC can derive Data and Typeable instances for your datatypes
+* Comes with many useful generic functions
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* GHC 6.10.1 or later
+* Cabal 1.6 or later
+
+
+Bugs & Support
+--------------
+
+Please report issues or request features at the bug tracker:

+For discussion about the library with the authors, maintainers, and other
+interested persons use the mailing list:
