 Title: Multi-Threaded, Coercion-Free Implementations of Common Row-Wise Operations
 Description: Fast row-oriented operations implemented in C++, all of which are multi-threaded by
     leveraging 'RcppParallel' and 'RcppThread'. Virtually no deep copies of input data are made,
-    even of character data thanks to Boost's 'string_ref'. In contrast to other functions, the ones
-    in this package support data frames with differently typed columns as input without coercion to
-    a matrix, performing on-the-fly type promotion following R rules, where necessary.

+    promotion according to R rules (like transforming logicals to integers to allow summation).

 ## Initial release
-This is the first version of the package.
+This is the 1st revision for the initial submission of the package.
+The following adjustments have been made based on the received feedback:
+
+* Single quotes have been added to 'Boost' in the description.
+  Used packages were already quoted.
+* The description has been reworded to hopefully make it more understandable.
+
+Some remarks:
+
+* All used packages are included in the DESCRIPTION file,
+  but some are only in the LinkingTo section.
+  Package 'BH', for instance, doesn't export any functions,
+  so it couldn't be included in Depends or Imports.
+* No specific functions are mentioned in the description.
+  'string_ref' is a class, not a function;
+  this detail has been added to the description.
+* 'Type promotion according to R rules' means that, for example,
+  an integer and a logical can be added together by promoting the logical to an integer.
+  R has some particularities in this regard, e.g.,
+  promoting a logical to a character results in the strings 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'.
+  This has been taken into account in the package,
+  and the description now mentions a simple example thereof.
 
 ## Test environments
 * Local GNU/Linux, R release
