+The @base@ package contains the "Prelude" and its support libraries,
+and a large collection of useful libraries ranging from data
+structures to parsing combinators and debugging utilities.
+
+The @base@ package is enabled by default; to import any of the modules
+listed here just import it by name.  Remember to give the /fully
+qualified/ name when importing a module from the hierarchy.
