+-- GIS Vector Tiles, as defined by Mapbox.
+--
+-- This library implements version 2.1 of the official Mapbox spec, as defined
+-- here: https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/tree/master/2.1
+--
+-- Note that currently this library ignores top-level protobuf extensions,
+-- /Value/ extensions, and /UNKNOWN/ geometries.
+--
+-- The order in which to explore the modules of this library is as follows:
+--
+-- 1. "Geography.VectorTile" (here)
+-- 2. "Geography.VectorTile.Geometry"
+-- 3. "Geography.VectorTile.Raw"
+--
+-- == Usage
+--
+-- This library reads and writes strict `ByteString`s. Given some legal
+-- VectorTile file called @roads.mvt@:
+--
+-- > import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
+-- > import           Data.Text (Text)
+-- > import           Geography.VectorTile
+-- > import qualified Geography.VectorTile.Raw as R
+-- >
+-- > -- | Read in raw protobuf data and decode it into a high-level type.
+-- > roads :: IO (Either Text VectorTile)
+-- > roads = do
+-- >   mvt <- BS.readFile "roads.mvt"
+-- >   pure $ R.decode mvt >>= tile
+--
+-- Or encode a `VectorTile` back into a `ByteString`:
+--
+-- > roadsBytes :: VectorTile -> BS.ByteString
+-- > roadsBytes = R.encode . untile

+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+version:             1.0.0
+synopsis:            GIS Vector Tiles, as defined by Mapbox.
+description:         GIS Vector Tiles, as defined by Mapbox.
+                     .
+                     This library implements version 2.1 of the official Mapbox spec, as defined
+                     here: https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/tree/master/2.1
+                     .
+                     Note that currently this library ignores top-level protobuf extensions,
+                     /Value/ extensions, and /UNKNOWN/ geometries.
+                     .
+                     The order in which to explore the modules of this library is as follows:
+                     .
+                     1. "Geography.VectorTile" (high-level types and conversion functions)
+                     2. "Geography.VectorTile.Geometry" (typical GIS geometry types)
+                     3. "Geography.VectorTile.Raw" (mid-level representation of parsed protobuf data)
