{- $deriveInvariant
'deriveInvariant' automatically generates an 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant'
instance declaration for a data type, newtype, or data family instance that has
at least one type variable. This emulates what would (hypothetically) happen
if you could attach a @deriving 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant'@ clause to
the end of a data declaration. Examples:
@
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Data.Functor.Invariant.TH
data Pair a = Pair a a
$('deriveInvariant' ''Pair) -- instance Invariant Pair where ...
newtype Alt f a = Alt (f a)
$('deriveInvariant' ''Alt) -- instance Invariant f => Invariant (Alt f) where ...
@
If you are using @template-haskell-2.7.0.0@ or later (i.e., GHC 7.4 or later),
'deriveInvariant' can also be used to derive 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant' instances for data family
instances (which requires the @-XTypeFamilies@ extension). To do so, pass the name of
a data or newtype instance constructor to 'deriveInvariant'. Note that the generated
code may require the @-XFlexibleInstances@ extension. Some examples:
@
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, TemplateHaskell, TypeFamilies #-}
import Data.Functor.Invariant.TH
class AssocClass a b where
data AssocData a b
instance AssocClass Int b where
data AssocData Int b = AssocDataInt1 Int | AssocDataInt2 b Int
$('deriveInvariant' 'AssocDataInt1) -- instance Invariant (AssocData Int) where ...
-- Alternatively, one could use $(deriveInvariant 'AssocDataInt2)
data family DataFam a b
newtype instance DataFam () b = DataFamB b
$('deriveInvariant' 'DataFamB) -- instance Invariant (DataFam ())
@
Note that there are some limitations:
* The 'Name' argument to 'deriveInvariant' must not be a type synonym.
* With 'deriveInvariant', the argument's last type variable must be of kind @*@.
For other ones, type variables of kind @* -> *@ are assumed to require an
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant' context. For more complicated scenarios,
use 'makeInvmap'.
* If using the @-XDatatypeContexts@, @-XExistentialQuantification@, or @-XGADTs@
extensions, a constraint cannot mention the last type variable. For example,
@data Illegal a where I :: Ord a => a -> Illegal a@ cannot have a derived
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant' instance.
* If the last type variable is used within a data field of a constructor, it must only
be used in the last argument of the data type constructor. For example, @data Legal a
= Legal (Either Int a)@ can have a derived 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant' instance,
but @data Illegal a = Illegal (Either a a)@ cannot.
* Data family instances must be able to eta-reduce the last type variable. In other
words, if you have a instance of the form:
@
data family Family a1 ... an t
data instance Family e1 ... e2 v = ...
@
Then the following conditions must hold:
1. @v@ must be a type variable.
2. @v@ must not be mentioned in any of @e1@, ..., @e2@.

{- $deriveInvariant2
'deriveInvariant2' automatically generates an
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant2' instance declaration for a data type,
newtype, or data family instance that has at least two type variables. This
emulates what would (hypothetically) happen if you could attach a @deriving
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant2'@ clause to the end of a data declaration.
Examples:
@
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Data.Functor.Invariant.TH
data OneOrNone a b = OneL a | OneR b | None
$('deriveInvariant2' ''OneOrNone) -- instance Invariant2 OneOrNone where ...
newtype Alt2 f a b = Alt2 (f a b)
$('deriveInvariant2' ''Alt2) -- instance Invariant2 f => Invariant2 (Alt2 f) where ...
@
The same restrictions that apply to 'deriveInvariant' also apply to 'deriveInvariant2',
with some caveats:
* With 'deriveInvariant2', the last type variables must both be of kind @*@. For other
ones, type variables of kind @* -> *@ are assumed to require an 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant'
constraint, and type variables of kind @* -> * -> *@ are assumed to require an
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant2' constraint. For more complicated scenarios, use 'makeInvmap2'.
* If using the @-XDatatypeContexts@, @-XExistentialQuantification@, or @-XGADTs@
extensions, a constraint cannot mention either of the last two type variables. For
example, @data Illegal2 a b where I2 :: Ord a => a -> b -> Illegal2 a b@ cannot
have a derived 'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant2' instance.
* If either of the last two type variables is used within a data field of a constructor,
it must only be used in the last two arguments of the data type constructor. For
example, @data Legal a b = Legal (Int, Int, a, b)@ can have a derived
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant2' instance, but
@data Illegal a b = Illegal (a, b, a, b)@ cannot.
* Data family instances must be able to eta-reduce the last two type variables. In other
words, if you have a instance of the form:
@
data family Family a1 ... an t1 t2
data instance Family e1 ... e2 v1 v2 = ...
@
Then the following conditions must hold:
1. @v1@ and @v2@ must be distinct type variables.
2. Neither @v1@ not @v2@ must be mentioned in any of @e1@, ..., @e2@.

{- $make
There may be scenarios in which you want to @invmap@ over an arbitrary data
type or data family instance without having to make the type an instance of
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant'. For these cases, this module provides
several functions (all prefixed with @make-@) that splice the appropriate
lambda expression into your source code. Example:
This is particularly useful for creating instances for sophisticated data
types. For example, 'deriveInvariant' cannot infer the correct type context for
@newtype HigherKinded f a b c = HigherKinded (f a b c)@, since @f@ is of kind
@* -> * -> * -> *@. However, it is still possible to create an
'Data.Functor.Invariant.Invariant' instance for @HigherKinded@ without too much
trouble using 'makeInvmap':
@
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts, TemplateHaskell #-}

instance Invariant (f a b) => Invariant (HigherKinded f a b) where

Note [Kind signatures in derived instances]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is possible to put explicit kind signatures into the derived instances, e.g.,
instance C a => C (Data (f :: * -> *)) where ...
But it is preferable to avoid this if possible. If we come up with an incorrect
kind signature (which is entirely possible, since our type inferencer is pretty
unsophisticated - see Note [Type inference in derived instances]), then GHC will
flat-out reject the instance, which is quite unfortunate.
Plain old datatypes have the advantage that you can avoid using any kind signatures
at all in their instances. This is because a datatype declaration uses all type
variables, so the types that we use in a derived instance uniquely determine their
kinds. As long as we plug in the right types, the kind inferencer can do the rest
of the work. For this reason, we use unSigT to remove all kind signatures before
splicing in the instance context and head.
Data family instances are trickier, since a data family can have two instances that
are distinguished by kind alone, e.g.,
data family Fam (a :: k)
data instance Fam (a :: * -> *)
data instance Fam (a :: *)
If we dropped the kind signatures for C (Fam a), then GHC will have no way of
knowing which instance we are talking about. To avoid this scenario, we always
include explicit kind signatures in data family instances. There is a chance that
the inferred kind signatures will be incorrect, but if so, we can always fall back
on the make- functions.
Note [Type inference in derived instances]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Type inference is can be tricky to get right, and we want to avoid recreating the
entirety of GHC's type inferencer in Template Haskell. For this reason, we will
probably never come up with derived instance contexts that are as accurate as
GHC's. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything! There are a couple of simple
things we can do to make instance contexts that work for 80% of use cases:
1. If one of the last type parameters is polykinded, then its kind will be
specialized to * in the derived instance. We note what kind variable the type
parameter had and substitute it with * in the other types as well. For example,
imagine you had
data Data (a :: k) (b :: k) (c :: k)
Then you'd want to derived instance to be:
instance C (Data (a :: *))
Not:
instance C (Data (a :: k))
2. We naïvely come up with instance constraints using the following criteria:
(i) If there's a type parameter n of kind k1 -> k2 (where k1/k2 are * or kind
variables), then generate an Invariant n constraint, and if k1/k2 are kind
variables, then substitute k1/k2 with * elsewhere in the types. We must
consider the case where they are kind variables because you might have a
scenario like this:
newtype Compose (f :: k3 -> *) (g :: k1 -> k2 -> k3) (a :: k1) (b :: k2)
= Compose (f (g a b))
Which would have a derived Invariant2 instance of:
instance (Invariant f, Invariant2 g) => Invariant2 (Compose f g) where ...
(ii) If there's a type parameter n of kind k1 -> k2 -> k3 (where k1/k2/k3 are
* or kind variables), then generate a Invariant2 n constraint and perform
kind substitution as in the other case.
