+version:             0.1.0.0
+synopsis:            First and Last generalized to return up to n values
+description:
+  This library provides data types @<Data-Monoid-First.html#t:First-39- First' n>@ and @<Data-Monoid-Last.html#t:Last-39- Last' n>@ generalizing @First@ and @Last@ from @<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base/docs/Data-Monoid.html Data.Monoid>@ to return up to @n@ values.
+  .
+  >>> getFirst' (foldMap pure [1,2,3,4] :: First' 2 Int)
+  [1,2]
+  .
+  >>> getLast' (foldMap pure [1,2,3,4] :: Last' 2 Int)
+  [3,4]
+  .
+  It also provides API-compatible type synonyms @<Data-Monoid-First.html#t:First First>@ and @<Data-Monoid-Last.html#t:Last Last>@ as well as functions @<Data-Monoid-First.html#v:getFirst getFirst>@ and @<Data-Monoid-Last.html#v:getLast getLast>@, allowing you to use it as a drop-in replacement.
