+  <longdescription>
+  This module provides an object type which efficiently represents an array of
+  booleans. Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much like usual lists.
+  Eight bits are represented by one byte in a contiguous block of memory. The
+  user can select between two representations; little-endian and big-endian.
+  Most of the functionality is implemented in C. Methods for accessing the
+  machine representation are provided. This can be useful when bit level access
+  to binary files is required, such as portable bitmap image files (.pbm). Also,
+  when dealing with compressed data which uses variable bit length encoding,
+  you may find this module useful.
