-Out of the box Pandas does not support reading and writing excel tables, and as the API of pandas is already pretty complex. So instead of adding a feature inside Pandas this separte package provides the required utility functions to read and write between Excel Tables and Pandas DataFrames.
+Strangely Pandas does not support reading from and writing to excel tables out of the box, and due to the complexity of Pandas this is [not easily added](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/24862) (though having this built into Pandas would be the prefered solution). This separate package provides is thus a separate companion to Pandas with utility functions to read and write Excel Tables from/to Pandas DataFrames.
