--- Exiting the program.
+-- The "Text.Read" library is the canonical library to import for
+-- 'Read'-class facilities.  For GHC only, it offers an extended and much
+-- improved 'Read' class, which constitutes a proposed alternative to the 
+-- Haskell 98 'Read'.  In particular, writing parsers is easier, and
+-- the parsers are much more efficient.
