+the ground up to directly target C++ and take advantage of modern C++
+development techniques.  Being a native C++ application, it has some advantages
+over existing embedded scripting languages:
+
+@enumerate
+@item Uses a header-only approach, which makes it easy to integrate with
+existing projects.
+@item Maintains type safety between your C++ application and the user scripts.
+@item Supports a variety of C++ techniques including callbacks, overloaded
+functions, class methods, and stl containers.
