+These modules provide supporting functions for dealing
+with the custom "scripted objects" defined within the workbench.
+
+The functions are meant to be used in the creation step of the objects,
+by the "make functions" in `draftmake/`, but also by the graphical
+"Gui Commands" modules in `draftguitools/` and `drafttaskpanels/`.
+
+These functions should deal with the internal shapes of the objects,
+or other special properties. They should not be very generic;
+if they are very generic then they are more appropriate to be included
+in the modules in `draftutils/`.
