+"""
+This program slurps in a .XCompose file on standard input (or several
+concatenated together, since it won't follow includes) and outputs the
+compose sequences in an S-expression-like syntax, showing the prefix tree
+of sequences.  This should bring together some of the groups that use a
+prefix-character, like * for the Greek alphabet and # for musical symbols.
+And scatter other related things far and wide.  But it might be fun to look
+at.
+
+Prefix conflicts (in which you have a compose sequence that is the proper
+prefix of another) and exact conflicts (in which you have a compose
+sequence listed two with two different translations) cannot be handled
+gracefully in this notation, and they are not handled gracefully by this
+program.  The tie is not broken in a consistent or predictable fashion,
+etc: this is a case of GIGO.  Deal with it.
