+     "Software Transactional Memory, or STM, is an abstraction for concurrent

+That is, using STM you can write concurrent abstractions that can be easily
+composed with any other abstraction built using STM, without exposing the
+details of how your abstraction ensures safety.  This is typically not the
+case with other forms of concurrent communication, such as locks or
