Language.Haskell.TH.Fold
Description
This is "very old" code and I'd like to clean it up, but it more or less works so it's a pretty low priority right now.
My apologies for inflicting this code upon the world ( ;-) ), but I did not see anything else "out there", so I figured I'd provide a seed crystal around which something better might form.
Documentation
Generate a very basic fold operation given the Name
of a type
constructor. Data constructors of the specified type become function
parameters to the fold, in the same order the type defines them. Simple
recursive references in the type's constructors become recursive calls to
the fold.
At present this only properly handles very simple types.
Basically, that means types that have no parameters, types with one parameter
where the only recursion is via field slots with types of the form 'T a'
where a
is the type of the parameter, and more complicated types without
recursion.
