+ <longdescription>
+ This package provides a canonical anonymous 1-tuple type missing
+ from Haskell for attaching typeclass instances.
+
+ NOTE: There is also the &lt;/package/OneTuple OneTuple package&gt; which
+ by using a boxed @data@-type provides a 1-tuple type which has
+ laziness properties which are more faithful to the ones of Haskell's
+ native tuples; whereas the primary purpose of 'Only' is to
+ provide the traditionally so named type-wrapper for attaching typeclass
+ instances.
