+The `cpp_double_fp_backend` back-end is a relatively simple two-limb backend type.
+It is composed of the sum of two IEEE floating-point numbers.
+These are combined to create a type having a composite width rougly twice that as one of its parts.
 The `cpp_double_fp_backend` back-end is used in conjunction with `number`
 and acts as an entirely C++ header only floating-point number type.
 
@@ -70,8 +71,8 @@ Things you should know when using the `cpp_double_fp_backend` types:
 * The types can not be used with certain compiler variations of _fast_-_math_. On GCC/clang, for instance, `-ffast-math` can not be used (use either the default or explicitly set `-fno-fast-math`). On MSVC `/fp:fast` can not be used and `/fp:precise` (the default) is mandatory on MSVC compilers. This is because the algorithms, in particular those for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square root, rely on precise floating-point rounding.
 * The composite types are not as precise as their constituents. For information on error-bounds, see Joldes et al. in the references below.
 * There are `std::numeric_limits` specializations for these types.
-* Large parts (but not all) of the `cpp_double_fp_backend` implementation are `constexpr`. Future evolution is anticipated to make this library entirely `constexpr`.
-* Conversions to and from string internally use an intermediate `cpp_bin_float` value (which is a bit awkward may be eliminated in future refinements).
+* Almost all of the methods of the `cpp_double_fp_backend` implementation are `constexpr`. The sole exception is read-from-string, which is not yet `constexpr`, but may become so in future evolution.
+* Conversions to and from string internally use an intermediate `cpp_bin_float` value. This is a bit awkward may be eliminated in future refinements.
 
 The `cpp_double_fp_backend` back-end has been inspired by original works and types.
 These include the historical `doubledouble` and more, as listed below.
