+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter::Behavior - Default type-specific actions for a parameter.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Provides a standard set of functionality for a
+L<Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter> so that the developer of a policy
+does not have to provide it her/himself. The developer can override
+most of the functionality in the subclasses; these are just defaults.
+
+All subclasses have singleton instances held onto by
+L<Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter>.
+
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over
+
+=item C<initialize_parameter( $parameter, $specification )>
+
+Plug in the functionality this behavior provides into the parameter,
+based upon the configuration provided by the specification. The
+configuration items looked for depends upon the specific behavior
+subclass.
+
+=item C<generate_parameter_description( $parameter )>
+
+Create a description of the parameter, based upon the description on
+the parameter itself, but enhancing it with information from this
+behavior.
+
+Note that this may return C<undef> if the parameter itself doesn't
+have a description. Also, the returned value may include multiple
+lines.
