synopsis: applicative (functional) bidirectional programming beyond composition chains 

description:
   A bidirectional transformation connects data in difference formats,
   maintaining consistency amid separate updates. The "lens"
   programming language---with Kmett's Haskell lens package being
   one of the most influentials---is a solution to this problem.
   .
   Many lens implementations (including Kmett's Haskell library) only
   support the point-free style of programming. Though concise at times,
   this style becomes less handy when programs get more complicated. 
   .  
   This module provides the infrastructure for programming complex
   bidirectional transformations, by representing lenses as functions
   that are subject to the normal applicative-style programming.  For
   example, let us consider the 'unlines' functions and to define a
   lens version of it. In our framework we can program through pattern
   matching and explicit recursion as in normal functional programming.
   .
   > unlinesF :: [L s String] -> L s String
   > unlinesF []     = new ""
   > unlinesF (x:xs) = catLineF x (unlinesF xs)
   >    where catLineF = lift2 catLineL
   .   
   Here, @lift2 :: Lens' (a,b) c -> (forall s. L s a -> L s b -> L s
   c)@ and @new :: a -> (forall s. L s a)@ lift lenses to functions.
   The former is for binary lenses and the latter is for constant
   lenses.  We can then apply lenses as functions, alleviating the
   need of specialized combinators. In the above, we omitted the
   definition of a primitive lens @catLineL :: Lens' (String, String)
   String@ that concatenates two strings with a newline in between.   
   .
   Simply unlifting ('unlift', 'unlift2', 'unliftT') such "lens functions"
   gives us the desired lenses. 
   .   
   > unlinesL :: Lens' [String] String
   > unlinesL = unliftT unlinesF
   .
   The obtained lens works as expected.
   .
   > >>> ["banana", "orange", "apple"] ^. unlinesL
   > "banana\norange\napple\n"
   > >>> ["banana", "orange", "apple"] & unlinesL .~ "Banana\nOrange\nApple\n"
   > ["Banana","Orange","Apple"]
   .   
   One may prefer to define @unlinesF@ with 'foldr'. Indeed, we can
   use 'foldr' as below because @catLineF@ and @unlinesF@ are simply
   Haskell functions.
   .
   > unlinesF = foldr (lift2 catLineL) (new "") 
   .
   Here, the program is written in a point-free manner similar to that
   of the other lens frameworks. But note that this 'foldr' is just
   Haskell's 'foldr', instead of a special combinator for lenses.
   .
   More examples can be found at \"Examples\" in the source code
   <https://bitbucket.org/kztk/app-lens/downloads>.
   . 
   /Remark/.
   The applicative-style programming is possible in our implementation 
   because a function representation different from Kmett's is used for lenses.
   As a result, when we program record-field access chains such as 
   .
   > src .^ l1 . l2 
   > src & l1 . l2 .~ tgt' 
   .
   The order of composition is inverted in our implementation. 
   .
   > src .^ unlift (lift l2 . lift l1)
   > src & unlift (lift l2 . lift l1) .~ tgt' 
   .
   This difference causes slight inconvenience for record updates, but is 
   crucial in allowing the applicative-style lens programming we
   aim for.
