+long-description = """
+The motivation for these containers was use in [ColdFrame](https://simonjwright.github.io/coldframe/), an open-source code generator backend for use with UML tools in a restricted environment (a BBC micro:bit).
+
+In such an environment, it's normal to strip out unused code and data at link time (`-gc-sections` with GNU `ld`, `-dead_strip` with Apple `ld`).
+
+Unfortunately, it turns out that no primitive subprograms of tagged types can be stripped (they are all referenced by the dispatch table).
+
+These containers are still tagged, because (without compiler extensions) ColdFrame expects to use prefixed notation (_object_._primitive subprogram (...)_, as would users). However, the number of subprograms has been much reduced.
