+a flexible parameter syntax ``name=<value>``. For example,
-
+``spack install mercury debug=True`` will install mercury built with debug
-The names of variants available for a particular package depend on
+flags. The names of particular variants available for a package depend on
 what was provided by the package author. ``spack info <package>`` will
 provide information on what build variants are available.
 
-There are different types of variants:
+For compatibility with earlier versions, variants which happen to be
+boolean in nature can be specified by a syntax that represents turning
+options on and off. For example, in the previous spec we could have
+supplied ``mercury +debug`` with the same effect of enabling the debug
+compile time option for the libelf package.
 
-1. Boolean variants. Typically used to enable or disable a feature at
+Depending on the package a variant may have any default value.  For
-   compile time. For example, a package might have a ``debug`` variant that
+``mercury`` here, ``debug`` is ``False`` by default, and we turned it on
-   can be explicitly enabled with ``+debug`` and disabled with ``~debug``.
+with ``debug=True`` or ``+debug``.  If a variant is ``True`` by default
-2. Single-valued variants. Often used to set defaults. For example, a package
+you can turn it off by either adding ``-name`` or ``~name`` to the spec.
-   might have a ``compression`` variant that determines the default
-   compression algorithm, which users could set to ``compression=gzip`` or
-   ``compression=zstd``.
-3. Multi-valued variants. A package might have a ``fabrics`` variant that
-   determines which network fabrics to support. Users could set this to
-   ``fabrics=verbs,ofi`` to enable both InfiniBand verbs and OpenFabrics
-   interfaces. The values are separated by commas.
 
-   The meaning of ``fabrics=verbs,ofi`` is to enable *at least* the specified
+There are two syntaxes here because, depending on context, ``~`` and
-   fabrics, but other fabrics may be enabled as well. If the intent is to
+``-`` may mean different things.  In most shells, the following will
-   enable *only* the specified fabrics, then the ``fabrics:=verbs,ofi``
+result in the shell performing home directory substitution:
-   syntax should be used with the ``:=`` operator.
 
-.. note::
+.. code-block:: sh
 
-   In certain shells, the the ``~`` character is expanded to the home
+   mpileaks ~debug   # shell may try to substitute this!
-   directory. To avoid these issues, avoid whitespace between the package
+   mpileaks~debug    # use this instead
-   name and the variant:
 
-   .. code-block:: sh
+If there is a user called ``debug``, the ``~`` will be incorrectly
+expanded.  In this situation, you would want to write ``libelf
+-debug``.  However, ``-`` can be ambiguous when included after a
+package name without spaces:
 
-      mpileaks ~debug   # shell may try to substitute this!
+.. code-block:: sh
-      mpileaks~debug    # use this instead
 
-   Alternatively, you can use the ``-`` character to disable a variant,
+   mpileaks-debug     # wrong!
-   but be aware that this requires a space between the package name and
+   mpileaks -debug    # right
-   the variant:
 
-   .. code-block:: sh
+Spack allows the ``-`` character to be part of package names, so the
+above will be interpreted as a request for the ``mpileaks-debug``
+package, not a request for ``mpileaks`` built without ``debug``
+options.  In this scenario, you should write ``mpileaks~debug`` to
+avoid ambiguity.
 
-      mpileaks-debug     # wrong: refers to a package named "mpileaks-debug"
+When spack normalizes specs, it prints them out with no spaces boolean

+Configuration with Modules

+
+One can control which GCC is seen by the Intel compiler with modules.
+A module must be loaded both for the Intel Compiler (so it will run)
+and GCC (so the compiler can find the intended GCC).  The following
+configuration in ``compilers.yaml`` illustrates this technique:
