-# Adds monitor functionality to an arbitrary object by mixing the module with
-# +include+. For example:
+# In concurrent programming, a monitor is an object or module intended to be
+# used safely by more than one thread. The defining characteristic of a
+# monitor is that its methods are executed with mutual exclusion. That is, at
+# each point in time, at most one thread may be executing any of its methods.
+# This mutual exclusion greatly simplifies reasoning about the implementation
+# of monitors compared to reasoning about parallel code that updates a data
+# structure.
+#
+# You can read more about the general principles on the Wikipedia page for
+# Monitors[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29]
