-- | This is a helper function use to create Lenses for structure
-- fields using Template Haskell.  It is similar to the 'makeLenses'
-- function provided by the 'lens' library but instead of converting
-- fields with a name of "_{fieldname}" to a lens of "fieldname", the
-- 'makeLensL' converts a field name of "{fieldname}" to a lens named
-- "fieldnameL" (appends an 'L' instead of removing a '_' prefix).
