...no: avoid misleading or meaningless drivel, puffery, and redundancy.  Do, 
however, point out some basic features that might help users decide which of 
our oofteen deflate libraries fits their needs.  Add -er if you think it helps, 
or add some examples.

Otherwise, a common-sense guideline risks devolving into 'avoid adjectives; you 
might accidentally write a useful description'.
