Data.Yoko

Description

This omnibus module is the only necessary import for using the yoko generic programming library.

(Some sophisticated functions' types might require the import of the Data.Yoko.TypeBasics or Data.Yoko.Each modules.)

The Data.Yoko.HCompos module defines the generic homomorphism; see the paper "A Pattern for Almost Homomorphic Functions" at http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~nfrisby/frisby-wgp-2012.pdf, published at the Workshop on Generic Programming 2012. Much more details in my dissertation: http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~nfrisby/frisby-dissertation.pdf.

dc type variables abstract over fields types.

dcs and sum type variables abstract over sums of fields types.

Types of the form DC t are disbanded data types; for each fields type dc in the resulting sum, Codomain dc ~ t. That means they all correspond to constructors from t.

A complete Template Haskell deriver is provided in the Data.Yoko.TH module.

It works for the data types that `instant-generics` works on, excluding indexed data types. Yell loudly if you need that... then send me an email :) HTH!
