+DESCRIPTION
+ Authors using LaTeX to typeset books with significant margin
+ material often run into the problem of long notes running off the
+ bottom of the page. A typical workaround is to insert \vshift
+ commands by hand, but this is a tedious process that is invalidated
+ when pagination changes. Another workaround is memoir's \sidebar
+ function, but this can be unsatisfying for short textual notes, and
+ standard marginpars cannot be mixed with sidebars. This package
+ implements a solution to make marginpars "just work" by keeping a
+ list of floating inserts and arranging them intelligently in the
+ output routine.
