+class Libtlx(CMakePackage):
+    """ tlx is a collection of C++ helpers and extensions universally needed,
+        but not found in the STL.
+        The most important design goals and conventions are:
+        1) high modularity with as little dependencies between
+           modules as possible.
+        2) attempt to never break existing interfaces.
+        3) compile on all platforms with C++ - smartphones, supercomputers,
+           windows, etc.
+        4) zero external dependencies: no additional libraries are required.
+        5) warning and bug-freeness on all compilers.
+        6) keep overhead down - small overall size such that is can be included
+           without bloating applications."""
