Documentation
data VNameSource Source #
A name source is conceptually an infinite sequence of names with no repeating entries. In practice, when asked for a name, the name source will return the name along with a new name source, which should then be used in place of the original.
The Ord
instance is based on how many names have been extracted
from the name source.
