+    (description "This is a word-aligned compressed variant of the Java
+@code{Bitset} class.  It provides both a 64-bit and a 32-bit RLE-like
+compression scheme.  It can be used to implement bitmap indexes.
+
+The goal of word-aligned compression is not to achieve the best compression,
+but rather to improve query processing time. Hence, JavaEWAH tries to save CPU
+cycles, maybe at the expense of storage.  However, the EWAH scheme is always
+more efficient storage-wise than an uncompressed bitmap (as implemented in the
+@code{BitSet} class by Sun).")
