+      M*LIB (M star lib) is a C library enabling to define and use generic and
+      type safe container, aka handling generic containers in in pure C
+      language. The objects within the containers can be trivial or very
+      complex: they can have their own constructor, destructor, operators or can
+      be basic C type like the C type 'int'. This makes it possible to construct
+      fully recursive objects (container-of[...]-container-of-type-T), without
+      erasing type information (typically using void pointers or resorting to C
+      macro to access the container).
