   @section dhcpEvalIntroduction Introduction
 
   The core of the libeval library is a parser that is able to parse an
-  expression (e.g. option[123] == 'APC'). This is currently used for client
-  classification, but in the future may be also used for other applications.

   The external interface to the library is the @ref isc::eval::EvalContext
   class.  Once instantiated, it offers a major method:

 instantiated with the appropriate value and put onto the expression vector.
