+      Sparse, the semantic parser, provides a compiler frontend
+      capable of parsing most of ANSI C as well as many GCC
+      extensions, and a collection of sample compiler backends,
+      including a static analyzer also called "sparse".  Sparse
+      provides a set of annotations designed to convey semantic
+      information about types, such as what address space pointers
+      point to, or what locks a function acquires or releases.
