+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+es-shell: es-shell (extensible shell)
+es-shell:
+es-shell: Es is an extensible Unix shell with first class functions, lexical
+es-shell: scope, exceptions and rich return values. It is highly influenced by
+es-shell: Plan 9's rc shell, but also borrow ideas from scheme and tcl. It is
+es-shell: a small shell that works well both for interactive use and for
+es-shell: scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are much less
+es-shell: baroque.
