+     "This package provides @code{gsubfn} which is like @code{gsub} but can
+take a replacement function or certain other objects instead of the
+replacement string.  Matches and back references are input to the replacement
+function and replaced by the function output.  @code{gsubfn} can be used to
+split strings based on content rather than delimiters and for quasi-perl-style
+string interpolation.  The package also has facilities for translating
+formulas to functions and allowing such formulas in function calls instead of
+functions.")
