Foldable & Traversable instances for ((,) a)

10 Oct 2012

      I noticed (to my great dismay!) that ((,) a) doesn't appear to have Foldable or Traversable instance anywhere, even though it is an (almost trivial) instance of both:

instance Foldable ((,) a) where
    foldMap f (_, x) = f x

instance Traversable ((,) a) where
    traverse f (a, x) = (,) a <$> f x

I guess the most appropriate place for either would be Data.Tuple of Data.Foldable and Data.Traversable respectively.

Kind regards,
