"""
Transforms a function into a single-dispatch generic function. A **generic

implementation should be used during a call is determined by the
dispatch algorithm.
When the implementation is chosen based on the type of a single argument,
this is known as **single dispatch**.
Adding an implementation to a generic function is achieved by using the
:func:`register` attribute of the generic function. The
:func:`register` attribute is a decorator, taking a type paramater

and decorating a function implementing the operation for that type."""
Otherwise, +1 on the doc changes suggested.
Thanks PJ and Łukasz for seeing this one through.
