synopsis:
                Efficient, high-level dynamic programming.
description:
                ADPfusion combines stream-fusion (using the stream interface
                provided by the vector library) and type-level programming to
                provide highly efficient dynamic programming combinators.
                .
                From the programmers' viewpoint, ADPfusion behaves very much
                like the original ADP implementation
                <http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/adp/> developed by
                Robert Giegerich and colleagues, though both combinator
                semantics and backtracking are different.
                .
                The library internals, however, are designed not only to speed
                up ADP by a large margin (which this library does), but also to
                provide further runtime improvements by allowing the programmer
                to switch over to other kinds of data structures with better
                time and space behaviour. Most importantly, dynamic programming
                tables can be strict, removing indirections present in lazy,
                boxed tables.
                .
                As an example, even rather complex ADP code tends to be
                completely optimized to loops that use only unboxed variables
                (Int# and others, indexIntArray# and others).
                .
                Completely novel (compared to ADP), is the idea of allowing
                efficient monadic combinators. This facilitates writing code
                that performs backtracking, or samples structures
                stochastically, among others things.
                .
                This version is still highly experimental and makes use of
                multiple recent improvements in GHC. This is particularly true
                for the monadic interface.
                .
                Long term goals: Outer indices with more than two dimensions,
                specialized table design, a combinator library, a library for
                computational biology.
                .
                Two algorithms from the realm of computational biology are
                provided as examples on how to write dynamic programming
                algorithms using this library:
                <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Nussinov78> and
                <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/RNAFold>.
                .
                Changes since 0.0.1.0:
                .
                * compatibility with GHC 7.4
                .
                * note: still using fundeps & and TFs together. The TF-only version does not optimize as well (I know why but not yet how to fix it)
