+for Go data structures to aid in debugging.
+
+A quick overview of the additional features spew provides over the built-in printing facilities for Go data types are as follows:
+
+@itemize
+@item Pointers are dereferenced and followed.
+@item Circular data structures are detected and handled properly.
+@item Custom Stringer/error interfaces are optionally invoked, including on
+unexported types.
+@item Custom types which only implement the Stringer/error interfaces via a
+pointer receiver are optionally invoked when passing non-pointer variables.
+@item Byte arrays and slices are dumped like the hexdump -C command which
+includes offsets, byte values in hex, and ASCII output (only when using Dump
+style).
