+This directory contains definitions of things that are used
+exclusively in code generated by the Haskell compiler. It contains
+implementations of some of the things declared in the prims files for
+the prelude, as well as some more generic things that the code
+generator knows about.
+
+Note that some of the files in this directory access some Common Lisp
+features directly.
