 \section[IOExts]{Module @IOExts@}
 
+@IOExts@ provides useful functionality that fall outside the
+standard Haskell IO interface. Expect the contents of IOExts
+to be the same for Hugs and GHC (same goes for any other
+Hugs/GHC extension libraries, unless a function/type is
+explicitly flagged as being implementation specific
+extension.)
