type CommuteFn p1 p2 = forall wX wY. (p1 :> p2) wX wY -> Maybe ((p2 :> p1) wX wY) Source #

CommuteFn is the basis of a general framework for building up commutation operations between different patch types in a generic manner. Unfortunately type classes are not well suited to the problem because of the multiple possible routes by which the commuter for (FL p1, FL p2) can be built out of the commuter for (p1, p2) - and more complicated problems when we start building multiple constructors on top of each other. The type class resolution machinery really can't cope with selecting some route, because it doesn't know that all possible routes should be equivalent.
