Although <pkg>libmaa</pkg> was designed and implemented as a foundation for the KHEPERA Transformation System, the data structures are generally applicable to a wide range of programming problems. The memory management routines are especially helpful for improving the performance of memory-intensive applications. </longdescription> </pkgmetadata>
