+
+<p>Transforms are 4x4 transformation matrices. Matrices are the
+fundamental structure for modeling affine transformations such as
+translation, rotation, and scaling. Complex transformations are
+created by composing many simpler ones with the <code>transform*</code>
+procedure.
+</p>
+<p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to use transforms in a functional manner by treating
+them as immutable. This is made easy because almost every procedure
+in this module returns a new transform rather than mutating an
+existing one. However, in some cases it is necessary to use mutable
+transforms via <code>transform*!</code> for performance reasons.
