Hi! So, it turns out I have a need for a sink that forks input into two other sinks using the Conduit package. Here is what I came up with: https://gist.github.com/1975383
Is this the right way to write it? Also, what left over value(s) should I return in the Done constructor?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks so much, Grant

It looks like the right approach to me. What to do with the leftover values is a really good question, and I don't think there's really an obvious answer. I can think of a few approaches: * What you've done: never return leftover values. * Always return the ll (or rr). * Return whichever leftover value is Just, or if both are Just, arbitrarily choosing one of them Similarly, you could take different approaches to what to do when processing terminates early: * What you've done: continue pushing data until both Sinks return Done * Terminate whenever the left (or right) Sink returns Done * Terminate when *either* returns Done Again, there's no right answer here, they all seem like valid approaches.
