		The &#39;Par&#39; monad(s) offer an alternative
		parallel programming API to that provided by the
		@parallel@ package.
		A &#39;Par&#39; monad allows the simple description of
		parallel computations, and can be used to add
		parallelism to pure Haskell code.  The basic API
		is straightforward: a @Par@ monad supports forking
		and simple communication in terms of &#39;IVar&#39;s.
		This module is an interface module only. It
		provides a number of type clasess, but not an
		implementation.  The type classes separate different
		levels of @Par@ functionality.  See the
		&quot;Control.Monad.Par.Class&quot; module for more details.
		The &#39;monad-par&#39; library is one example of a
		concrete library providing this interface.
