    (description "IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer file system.  It
combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web.  It is
like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects.  IPFS provides an
interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in.  You can
also mount the world at @code{/ipfs}.")
