+accessing an installed Python package's metadata, such as its entry points or
+its top-level name.  This functionality intends to replace most uses of
+@code{pkg_resources} entry point API and metadata API.  Along with
+@code{importlib.resources} in Python 3.7 and newer, this can eliminate the
+need to use the older and less efficient @code{pkg_resources} package.")
